The future, what comes after graduation, is something that is often on the minds of postsecondary students. In particular, most of us worry about being able to get a job after graduation.<\/p>\n
Having volunteer experience is a great way to build up your resume in preparation for job-hunting; because the last two years are usually the busiest in a four-year degree, the first two years are the best times to complete volunteer work. Luckily, there are many avenues to gain this experience, many of which exist right here at Camosun.<\/p>\n
The Camosun College Student Society offers many opportunities to volunteer on campus. We always need help running campaigns and advocacy work for students. This year we\u2019re working hard to lobby local government for better transit service and are running a Rock the Vote BC campaign leading up to the provincial election in 2013. If you\u2019re interested in politics, try joining the campaigns and advocacy committee.<\/p>\n
You can also become involved in our constituency groups, working with our First Nations, Pride, Women\u2019s, International, Students with Disabilities, and Sustainability directors on events and advocacy. Our two campus executives are responsible for holding fun events for students, like beverage gardens, and volunteers can help out by planning and implementing events.<\/p>\n
We also support clubs. Come out to our Clubs Days on September 18 and 19 at Lansdowne, and September 26 at Interurban. If you don\u2019t find any clubs that you\u2019re interested in, start one of your own. Visit your campus student society office for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
