NEW THIS YEAR!
We’ve made changes to our volunteer program, based on feedback from the community and our amazing 2016 volunteer team. Changes include integration of a youth component, more specified roles for volunteers, one HUGE celebration event at the end of the summer, and more networking opportunities.
We’re also proud to accounce that we are the newest member of VAACT: Volunteer Award for Arts and Culture Toronto.
