Volunteering?

Don't forget that when you're doing volunteer work, you face exactly the same hazards as an employee. Therefore, all the information on this website also applies to you.

Volunteering is a great way to gain work experience, learn new skills, and meet new people. Places you can volunteer include:

• schools
• charitable organizations
• hospitals and nursing homes
• political offices
• religious organizations

• special events

As well, many school boards now require their high school students to complete a set number of volunteer hours in order to graduate.
