Volunteer Opportunity with Toronto SickKids Hospital
We've secured a partnership with the SickKids Reading Room, and are looking for dedicated volunteers who would be willing to volunteer for 1 hour bi-weekly reading stories to a live audience of children. Additionally, live footage recorded by a video camera will be broadcast across the hospital and to various patients and their families via internal feed. Successful applicants should have a moderate-to-strong grasp of English, and should be comfortable speaking to a [possibly] large group of children. Previous experience working with children and/or knowledge of a second language is an asset, although is not required. Selected applicants will be contacted by e-mail for a subsequent interview.
Any questions can be addressed directly to sickkids@gkutoronto.com. Additional information about Golden Key University of Toronto can be found on our website.
Good Luck!

The reading sessions not only help the young patients develop valuable reading skills, but also aide in the youngsters' recovery process. This program is an excellent opportunity for GKUT members to give back to the community.

Take a first year student under your wing and help guide them through their confusing freshman year through our peer mentorship program. Third or fourth year students from all faculties and academic disciplines are encouraged to participate as volunteers.
