Don’t Just Take our Word for It, See What our VOLUNTEERS Have to Say:

“Having the opportunity to enrich the lives of others gives a sense of fulfillment unlike any other and being a part of this remarkable program has enabled me to do just that.”                                                 Aman Sahota, Student, Langara

“It was really cool to do something where I learned more about people at my school and I even learned that I’m pretty good at presenting to a class full of people at my school.”                                           Justin Rai, student at North Surrey Senior Secondary

“I remember a few times after the mentorship session, a few kids hung around the door knowing that the time was up but not wanting to leave.  The fact that these boys were not wanting the leave, made me think that we are truly making a difference, that they do look up to us.” Parveen Virdi, Supervision Aide, Vancouver School Board

“The staff notice what a terrific opportunity it is for our students to develop leadership skills. They feel like they are contributing in many positive ways to our community.  If there is a possibility that your volunteers can stay on longer or return next year they would be most welcome.” Lorraine Baker, Vice Principal, Henderson Elementary

“Most memorable moment is the talent show. Mondays are better with Virsa around, you can chat with friends but you’re learning things at the same time. We learned about internet safety, learn more about each other. Taught us about bullying and how it can lead to bad things.” Participant, Junior Leadership Program
