Starting this summer of 2020, MindPlus Counselling & Consulting Services is offering a new program to help school and community volunteers get prepared to be excellent workers. Volunteers will use their skills and passion along with training from MindPlus to do a variety of tasks. Volunteer hours meet basic requirements for applying for university or college programs. It also provides university graduates and job applicants the required amount of volunteer hours or work experience. If you’re applying for a university program or a job that requires more hours of volunteering, the total volunteer hours can be extended for you. The special part of the program: after participating in free training and gaining volunteer work experience at MindPlus, you may have an opportunity to work for MindPlus. You will be paid with cheques or online/offline MindPlus workshop vouchers.
