Volunteering For Korean Students
I was approached two weeks ago with enquiries regarding employment opportunities for Korean students in Canada. However my first thought was that there are many volunteer positions globally including Canada which would be beneficial for Korean students to have experiences in.
While the working holiday program is a good opportunity it does not extend beyond a short term period. So this list includes links to various groups of local and global interest.
Canadian Alliance for Development Initiatives and Projects (CADIP) is a non-profit Canadian organization based in Vancouver, British Columbia. It has no religious or political affiliation. Through various charity, volunteer and youth initiatives, Cadip promotes peace, cooperation, tolerance and understanding in multi-cultural, multi-ethnic and international surroundings. The organization also promotes patterns and examples of civil activities focused on serving others, on building social ties and strengthening communities, on supporting civil society development. http://www.cadip.org/volunteer-in-canada.htm
Youth Challenge International builds the skills, experience and confidence of young people by involving them in substantive overseas international development projects in partnership with local youth-serving organizations.Volunteer overseas with YCI! YCI has volunteer opportunities in Canada, Africa, Central and South America, the Caribbean and the South Pacific. Over 2,500 Canadian youth have had life changing experiences with YCI since 1989.

Canadians have a rich history of volunteering and community involvement. From soup kitchens to fire departments, helpful neighbours to dedicated drivers, volunteers strengthen the fabric of Canadian society. The Canada Volunteerism Initiative (CVI) is a practical way to invest in community and in volunteers. The CVI is a pan-Canadian program that is distinctive in its mixture of national leadership and strategy and local perspectives and delivery.
