Volunteering with VAT is a very rewarding experience for everyone involved. For the volunteers, it allows them to give back to their own community and support an organization that has positively affected so many new citizens of Canada. For the many people benefitting from the generous volunteers' time and hard work it is an opportunity to learn and grow in a new environment without the challenges of a language barrier. There are many areas where volunteers are needed at VAT so check this section regularly to find out where you can make a difference.
