About Us
What We Do
Our mission is to provide a platform where people can connect and help while staying safe.
We aim to help everyone do what they can to fight the effects of the virus, aid people and organizations affected by COVID-19, and help people adjust to life in quarantine.

Our Current Initiatives
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
- Fundraisers
- Charity Concert
The goal of this event is to bring together singers and performers in order to raise money COVID-relief organizations and bring together the greater community as a whole. Our concert will be live via Twitch on August 31!
IWC COVID Column
- Mental Health
- Social Media Project
Our IWC COVID Column is launching on August 9th! Every Sunday on our Instagram story, we’ll be posting resources and advice on how to take care of your mental health amidst quarantine— with a focus on finding solutions for COVID-related problems.
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.
