National Volunteer Week Webinar: The surprising benefits of volunteering

Join us Thursday, April 23 to learn about the benefits of volunteerism explored by Dr. Femida Handy (PhD ’95).

Dr. Handy will draw on decades of research backing volunteering benefits from improved well-being and stronger connections to enhanced purpose and sustained engagement. This webinar will be an insightful conversation that reframes volunteering not only as service to others but as an experience that also transforms the volunteer. In addition, we will examine emerging trends in civic participation and what organizations can do to foster long-term volunteer involvement.

Hosted by Stachen Lett-Frederick (BSW ’13), President & CEO Big Brothers Big Sisters Toronto and member of the York University Alumni Board.
