SUMMARY:Towards a Decolonial and Anti Racist Approach to Volunteer Recruitment
DESCRIPTION:🌟 Join us for a critical conversation on Ontario’s volunteer landscape! Learn more about Decent Volunteering and anti-racist screening with our expert speaker\, Kasandra James (she/her)\, Director of Programs at @volunteertoronto.  \nRegister today:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.ca/e/towards-a-decolonial-and-anti-racist-approach-to-volunteer-recruitment-tickets-743642403447?aff=ebdsoporgprofile  \nOver the last few years\, volunteering rates have been declining in Ontario and organizations are reporting sustained shortages of volunteer labour. While efforts to recruit and retain volunteers are ongoing\, this session will ask us to consider how organizations can promote Decent Volunteering (as aligned with Decent Work philosophies) and foster decolonial approaches to volunteer recruitment and screening. \nAttendees will be asked to critique how systems of volunteer engagement exclude\, harm\, or marginalize some community members and imagine new ways of fostering communities of belonging in volunteer programs. \nThroughout the session\, we will address: \nVolunteering as indecent work\nDecent recruitment and barrier-free volunteering\nAn anti-racist lens to volunteer screening\nThis session will be informed by the work of ONN and Volunteer Toronto\, and includes reflections from Volunteer Toronto’s upcoming Volunteer Lab course: Decent Volunteering for Racial Justice. \n
