We are a network of volunteering groups, where you:
discover the larger Hamilton community
discuss your volunteer experiences with other McMaster students
learn about and help address inner-city issues
make a significant difference where it is needed
gain valuable experience
This is a unique opportunity to volunteer with a group of McMaster students. Each week the facilitator of the group helps you find your way to the placement and also facilitates discussion of your volunteer experiences for 15 min. at the end of your service experience.
To signup contact the facilitator of the group that you are interested in (click on their name to contact).
Please download and fill out a
registration form and a
