Across the country, students and recent graduates are looking for ways to contribute towards Canada’s response to COVID-19. The Government of Canada has launched the “I Want to Help” platform so that students and young professionals can give back to their communities while gaining valuable experience and growing their skill set.
Students and recent graduates, aged 30 or under, who volunteer with a charity or not-for-profit organization may be eligible to apply for the new Canada Student Service Grant. The more volunteer hours that eligible students put in over the summer, the higher the grant amount they can receive. In recognition of this service, the grant amount can be between $1,000 and $5,000.
Visit the Government of Canada website to learn more about the program.
