How will this opportunity benefit the volunteer?
YSS Canada believes in the power of "Giving Back to the Community". The Communications Officer Volunteer opportunity will not only be an opportunity to give back to the community but also an opportunity to LEARN and SHARE. YSS will provide the support, tools, and resources needed for the volunteer to be fully engaged and contribute to a common cause. While participating in various workshops and trainings, The CO will benefit from YSS networks and community engagement. We hope that this opportunity will help an interested volunteer to share their talents, learn new skills, and develop a sense of community belonging.
How will the organization benefit?
In this digital world, YSS values its presence online! Moving from the traditional way of engaging with the community, communications enhance most of our initial contact with our beneficiaries, volunteers, and everyone interested in learning about our work. Considering that YSS Canada is a youth organization, we aim to use all the possible platforms to engage with them. With the Communications Officer, YSS will be able to engage with youth, volunteers, and our partners, as we strive to empower the young generations.
