Are you interested in volunteering but not quite sure what it's really like?
That question is exactly what inspired our new series, which gives the inside scoop on what it's really like! We're exploring different volunteer opportunities and hearing directly from the people who know them best.
Find out what it's like to be a volunteer at...
FortWhyte Alive!
To kick things off, Volunteer Manitoba visits FortWhyte Alive!
While there, we met with Volunteer Resources Manager Amber Reid. She walked us through what it means to volunteer at FortWhyte Alive! Highlighting the different types of volunteer roles, what to wear, and answering the burning question: Do you need to be an expert in outdoor adventures & wildlife?
Be sure to watch for the rest of this series when you'll hear directly from FortWhyte Alive volunteers!
