VOLUNTEER
Since 1990, Volunteer Services has provided students with a number of ways to make a difference in our community, gain professional experience and just get involved in campus life.
Volunteering is a rewarding experience, but it also serves as a great way to build your academic and professional portfolio. Thanks to an idea and formal proposal from the Students’ Union, the university offers a Co-curricular Record Program to all U of C students. This program formally documents your involvement in extra-curricular activities including volunteerism – a great asset when presenting yourself to employers and making that important transition from school to full-time work.
You can access your co-curricular record through the UCalgary Involvement Portal.
Volunteer Services is more than you expect. We offer eight diverse volunteer programs to fit different schedules and skill-sets. From gaining practical administrative experience in our offices, to working with a homeless shelter or arts association in the Calgary region, chances are we have an opportunity to interest you.
