Volunteer
The CSD relies on the help of its volunteers and allies to make its services and programs possible. Volunteers are recruited year-round, and training workshops are offered based on need and presence of new volunteers.
Expectations of volunteers
All CSD volunteers are expected to:
- Respect students with disabilities
- Be respectful of other volunteers and staff
- Possess enthusiasm for their volunteer work
- Be registered as a University of Ottawa student
- Help with communications in English, French, ASL, LSQ, writing, public speaking, other languages, tactile signing, (knowing all of these is by far not necessary, but any knowledge of any combination of these is a definite asset to our team.)
Time commitment
All volunteers are expected to contribute on average at least one hour per week to the CSD. It is possible to do more hours and to participate to the Experiental Learning Service with Student Academic Success Service (SASS).
Volunteer Opportunities
We currently require volunteers for a variety of tasks:
- Event Planning
- Workshop Facilitation
- Marketing/ Promotion
- Clerk during office hours
- Event Set up
The Volunteer Application Form has to be printed and completed, then delivered to the Centre for Students with Disabilities.
