What our cohort, subsection, and lifestyle directors are up to.

Hear Together

Care Centers
Audio Project

With this project, volunteers will create a collaborative audio file that care centres can play through the sound system. The message will include encouraging words, information about COVID-19, what volunteers are doing, interactive exercises, and more! This gives an opportunity for the seniors to hear some new voices and reassure themselves that everything will be okay.

Tell My Story

Public Health
Podcast

Our podcast aims to capture COVID-19 stories from all parts of the community - healthcare workers, parents, students, grocery store clerks; the list goes on. We want to provide a platform for everyone to share their story and have their voices be heard.

IWC Charity Concert

The process

What will volunteering
with us look like?

1. Sign Up

After signing up for an IWC account, you’ll get to do a personalized quiz for us to get to know you better. This includes your hobbies, interests, and skillset.

2. Find Opportunities

Based on your answers, we’ll recommend some opportunities customized for your time commitment, abilities, and your interest in each of our cohorts.

3. Get Connected

We’ll then provide you with information on how to get started, connect you to our partner organizations, and present you with volunteering initiatives offered by other organizations.

4. Receive Guidance

As you make your way through an opportunity, we’ll guide you through any questions and speed bumps. As you complete each assignment, you can update your volunteer hour form in your IWC account.

How Can You Help?

Whether you have an hour, a few markers, or a skill to share— we'll make it count. Sign up for or log in to your IWC account to start making an impact.
