What is a volunteer fair?
Volunteer fairs are public events featuring from 15 to 50 kiosks offering information on community organizations. Regardless of the number, we make sure that several different types of volunteering are represented.
People who want to find out more about volunteering, or who are interested in becoming volunteers, can visit the different kiosks and talk to representatives of the recruiting organizations. It's a good way to learn more about the organizations that interest you, what services they offer and the kind of volunteers they are looking for.

What kind of organizations are represented at the fairs?
You'll find organizations at work in many fields: services for seniors, children, hospitals, literacy groups, residences, shelters and many others. For more information on the different sectors of activity available, please consult our Volunteer opportunities.
