Laura Garcia-Brow ning Volunteering for students Halton Senior Friendship Games results By Shami Dhillon SPECIAL TO T H E BEAVER Students, if you're looking for the opportunity to develop and learn new skills, gain valuable work experience, enhance your resume, get business con­ nections and references, meet new peo­ ple, and have fun, then it's time to vol­ unteer. The Summer Youth Volunteer Program is interviewing students between the ages of 13 and 21 for vol­ unteer positions in agencies. If you want the opportunity to participate, call the Halton Social Planning Council and Volunteer Centre at 632-1975 and ask for the Summer Youth Placement Co­ ordinator. Some of the opportunities currently available include: The Oakville H istorical Society requires a student to photograph histor­ ical houses and organize photos into an album and index. This is ideal for mature students who are 18 years old and interested in photography. However, they are required to provide their own car and camera. The Children's Assessment and Treatment Centre has a Youth Aiding Youth program, whereby a student vol­ unteer is paired with a child between the ages of six and 12 to act as a 'buddy.' This is an opportunity to act as a role model and help develop social skills and self-esteem. BEA VOLUNTEER The Victorian Order of Nurses require volunteers for their Seniors' Day Program. If you are reliable and caring and you enjoy working with seniors, this may be the position for you. Activities may include visiting, playing games or taking walks with a senior. The Festival o f Classics will be needing some extra help in the back- stage during their shows this summer, ideal for individuals who may not have a lot of time to volunteer and do have an interest in plays. Assistance will be needed with props, construction, light­ ing, wardrobe dressing, and painting. These are just a few of the many exciting volunteer opportunities avail­ able for students this summer. If you have a few hours per week to spare and want to have fun while con­ tributing to your community, contact the Volunteer Centre to arrange a vol­ unteer position.
