There are many voluntary groups and voluntary agencies in Toronto, all of whom need volunteers to help them function properly. Through volunteering, we can come into contact with people from different backgrounds. It is an opportunity to develop our communication and organizational skills, as well as broadening our circle of life. Furthermore, from job-searching perspective, volunteer work experience can be included in the resume. It may help increase interview opportunities.
