The volunteer opportunity I chose is called ‘Universal Access Ability Advisory Committee’. Its purpose is to “provide a local and universal accessibility perspective and advice to Council with respect to achieving the City of Coquitlam’s strategic goals and accompanying strategic directions toward universal accessibility”.
This volunteer opportunity can benefit my future by letting people know I wanted to be apart of something to help improve the city to be more inclusive towards people with disabilities and help create designs or ideas on buildings. this would also be helpful because in the future being an architect is one of my options for my career so starting off with small stuff like this can help me learn about some things when designing things for buildings.
I am passionate on getting involved this field because it seems interesting to hear what others want to do to improve the city and I’m interested in helping the disability. This could also be a good learning experience to help my future in becoming a architect.
