Volunteer Opportunities for Your Team

Make a Difference

In this 2 to 3 hour volunteer opportunity, your group will use our training booklets to guide young people through a series of easy-to-follow activities, quizzes, and even comic strips that emphasize the core values of effective tutoring, such as patience, empathy, and communication. Past participating organizations include TD, LoyaltyOne, Fitch Ratings, Deloitte, Moody's Ratings, and many more. Our opportunities are suitable for individuals in any position.

Join us for a fun and impactful event!

Your team will have the opportunity to engage with vibrant youth, fostering meaningful connections and providing positive role models. By teaching vital skills like financial literacy, environmental awareness, and effective communication, your team will help create a ripple effect of positive change, empowering both children and their families. Additionally, your team's support will help sustain the organization's program, which provides snacks and meals to low-income participants in extracurricular programs.

Group size:

This opportunity is suitable for groups of 5 to 20 people, making it perfect for small teams or larger groups looking to make a meaningful impact together. Groups larger than 20 people can be accomodated on occasion.

What you'll do:

After a brief orientation, each member of your team will be paired with 1 to 3 children (Grades 5-8) to lead them through a lively and interactive lesson. Using our easy-to-follow booklets, you'll teach valuable lessons that will help the children support their parents or other adult learners, such as:

• Money-saving techniques, like points and coupon apps

• Creating basic budget plans through simple shopping lists

• Practicing speaking skills

• Environmental practices like reducing waste and recycling

• And other things that help new Canadians and seniors live easier lives

Here's a sample of how a 2-hour session will go:

• Welcome & Intro: Let's get started! (5 minutes)

• Icebreaker: Fun team activity to get everyone introduced! (5 minutes)

• About the Organization: We'll give you a short presentation about our organization and the work they do. (10 minutes)

• Getting Ready: We'll show you how to lead the lesson. (20 minutes)

• Session 1: Pair up with kids and go through the lesson, which takes about 30 minutes to complete. (30 minutes)

• Short Break: Quick breather! (5 minutes)

• Session 2: Your team will pair up with a different group of kids, and teach them the same lesson. (30 minutes)

• Wrap-Up: We'll debrief what we accomplished! (10 minutes)
