Do I need to be a PR, refugee or Canadian citizen to get involved?

We are a non-profit community of professionals who believe in Paying It Forward. Our programs, volunteering opportunities, and membership are not restricted to Permanent Residents, Convention Refugees or Canadian citizens. You could join us having a Work Permit or Student Permit, or from abroad if you are currently waiting for your visa to get approved.

Are there rules or guidelines to be a Volunteer?

2019-12-14T21:29:40-05:00

The main rule we have is “bring your best self, be willing to try new things, and communicate proactively with the team!” Only in cases your work requires to access personal information of other members or volunteers, you’ll be asked to sign a Confidentiality Agreement.

I’ll move to Canada in a few months. Can I volunteer from abroad?

2019-12-14T21:27:51-05:00

Yes you can! While the tasks may be limited, we do have opportunities to work virtually, e.g. in the social media team. If you send us an inquiry via email (hi@unstoppableme.rocks) and attach your resume, one of us will reach out to you to explain the options.

How many hours do I need to dedicate as a Volunteer?

2019-12-14T21:30:59-05:00

In general, it would be anywhere from 2 to 10 hours per week. The time commitment depends on the role we assign you. Some of our events are “one-offs” such as workshops, and some projects have a temporary duration (one to six months). Other roles are long term, for example, the social media team posts content every week. We encourage you to first think what skills and experience you want to contribute, and discuss the options with the Volunteer Manager.

As a Volunteer, do I need to be physically present at all times?

2019-12-14T21:33:15-05:00

We don’t have a physical office and most of our work can be done via email or phone. However, the Volunteer Manager may conduct a face-to-face or video interview after you contact us, to get to know you and see how our positions match your career goals.
