VOLT program celebrates 1,000 members in five years
Five years ago a pair of motivated students at Langara College were searching for volunteer opportunities to give back to their community and to provide them with valuable experience, when they came to the conclusion that it would be so much easier if a program existed to organize volunteerism for them.
Jade Arignon and Warren Springer, along with the support of mentors within Langara’s Student Services departments, developed a proposal for the College’s Board of Governors that led to the creation of a pilot program to coordinate volunteer opportunities for students – both on and off campus.
