Volunteer and Internship Information Session – The Borgen Project

The information event hosted by The Borgen Project will provide valuable resources for individuals interested in making a difference through volunteering or internships. Attendees will learn how to apply, what roles are available, and the requirements for each position. Recognizing that our volunteer roles can require a significant time commitment, I will also share smaller-scale opportunities—such as fundraising initiatives or contacting local representatives—for those seeking more flexible ways to contribute.

In particular, the event will cover:

Volunteer and internship opportunities that offer experience in journalism, politics, and the non-profit sector

Short-term ways to engage in meaningful advocacy work, both locally and nationally

The importance and benefits of Canadian foreign aid, and how it supports both global development and local communities like Vaughan

Scarborough Walk to End ALS

The ALS Canada Walk to End ALS is a community-driven event for people living with or affected by ALS as well as those who want to help create a world free of ALS. It is more than just a fundraiser, it is a community builder and a place of connection. A place to celebrate, to remember, to support each other and demonstrate just how strong we are as a community.
