FIND AN OPPORTUNITY

Watch for an email from the Concordia LIVE Centre. It should arrive in your inbox within a few minutes. Click the link in the email to browse our database.

Review the instructions for applying in the posting. This might mean filing out a form online, sending an email to the volunteer coordinator or calling them for more information.  Remember, the LIVE Centre is available to help with your application!

It’s normal for it to take time for a volunteer coordinator to respond to your application. If it’s only been a few days, keep waiting! If you don’t hear back from the organization in a few weeks, then you can send them a follow-up email. 

Some volunteer opportunities are competitive, just like a job, so it’s possible that they chose another candidate. Sometimes non-profit organizations are simply short-staffed or too busy, and they may fail to get back to you. If that happens, don’t be discouraged. Keep applying for other opportunities!

If the volunteer opportunity is connected to an on-campus opportunity, then it’s eligible to be included on your Co-curricular Record (CCR). Off-campus volunteering cannot be included on your CCR, but you can always include it on your CV! You can also ask your volunteer coordinator if they’d be willing to act as a reference.
