1. Your dream job (you will structure your career map around this career)

activity- volunteer opportunities.
You were provided with a sheet of paper from Ms. Sihota last class with multiple volunteer opportunities within and surrounding our community. These volunteer opportunities are not necessarily opportunities that may interest you but they may be of interest to your peers. Here is what I would like you to research for this assignment.
1. Choose one of the career opportunities that you see on your sheet of paper.
2. Where does this opportunity take place? In North Vancouver? Is it outside? Is it at multiple venues?
3. Is this volunteer opportunity hard to get to? ie. will you be able to arrange rides? Is there great public transit roots?
4. Is there an application process?
5. Are there developmental opportunities for you moving forward?
