  As summer approaches, students from across Manitoba are looking forward to taking a break from school! Summer break is a time for relaxation, fun and adventure. We can help with that!

  Volunteering during the summer is an opportunity to ensure you have an exciting summer. Don't believe us? We've put together reasons why volunteering during summer break is great for youth!

  Develop New Skills

  Volunteering provides an excellent opportunity for students to develop new skills that can be useful in various areas of their lives. Whether it is learning how to communicate effectively, working as part of a team, or gaining leadership skills.

  Make a Difference in the Community

  Volunteering allows students to make a positive impact in their community. By volunteering, young people can help to address various social issues, such as poverty, homelessness, and environmental degradation. Through volunteering, young people can play a vital role in creating a better world and making a positive difference in the lives of others.

  Build a Stronger Resume

  Volunteering can also help young people build a stronger resume. Many colleges and universities look for applicants who have demonstrated a commitment to community service. Volunteering can also help young people stand out when applying for jobs, as it demonstrates a willingness to go above and beyond what is required.

  Learn about Different Cultures and Perspectives

  Volunteering can expose young people to different cultures and perspectives. By volunteering in a diverse community, young people can learn about different customs, traditions, and ways of life. This can help them develop a greater understanding and appreciation for the diversity of the world around them.

  Improve Mental Health

  Volunteering has been linked to improved mental health outcomes for young people. By volunteering, young people can experience a sense of purpose and fulfillment that can boost their self-esteem and overall well-being. Volunteering can also help young people develop a sense of empathy and compassion for others, which can lead to a more positive outlook on life.
