https://www.coquitlam.ca/433/Pinetree-Community-Centre-Volunteer-Oppo
The volunteer position I have found in Coquitlam are opportunities to support sports programs and various interests at the Pinetree Community Center. During my research, I discovered that the sports programs provide lessons in basketball and badminton, and other programs teach Wonders of Science, Little Chefs on the Run, and Theater Children’s stage. As a volunteer, my job is to assist the program staff, and interact with the children/participants and encourage their skills.
This volunteer opportunity will benefit me in the future in different ways. For instance, it will allow me to interact with others through physical learning. This will be crucial for me to remember when I want to come across as passionate and genuine in interactions, which is important for some job interviews and employment opportunities. In addition, I will also acquire some work experience and soft skills like: leadership, mentoring, and teamwork. Not only is volunteering work essential to improving my employability but it is also a significant contribution to the community.
I am passionate about volunteering in Pinetree Community Centre and assisting in the programs because I believe I will be good at it. On the other hand, I am someone who is interested in athletics such as badminton and learning interests like cooking. A challenge that I have is engaging with people, which is why I’m willing to learn from it. All I have to do to apply is visit the website, click “sign up,” and then complete the application.
