Volunteer Experience
Vancouver Crisis Center - Domestic Violence and Suicide Prevention Counselor
I was (and still am) part of a team of volunteers who assist men and women who have encountered violence in their lives.
I received intensive training on how to assist people during extreme emotional difficulties. I also have my St. John Ambulance Certificate in C.P.R.
Vancouver SPCA - Dog Walking
A volunteer program to walk dogs who are kept in the SPCA kennels. Giving the animals a chance to get exercise. I also would play with other animals and assist in the adoption program.
Vancouver Hospice Society
I visit patients with terminal illnesses such as AIDS and Cancer. I provide them with someone to talk to and share their life's experiences. Many of these people have been forgotten by their families and are craving human affection. Visiting them makes me feel that I am easing their pain just a little.
National Association of Canadian Women in Business
I just began with this organization in January of 1996. I assist women in business who are starting up their ventures. I help write business plans, marketing plans and assist them in raising capital funds for their enterprises. I would also like to develop a program for young women, possibly in high school, who are interested in becoming entrepreneurs. The program would help and advise them with their credit history and teach them the basics of starting their own business. |
