Volunteer as a TechMentor on a short-term technology project with a non-profit organization or community group. We will work with you to identify projects that match your preferences, skills and schedule.

Volunteering will give you the opportunity to develop new skills, meet new people, support the non-profit sector, and make a difference to the community you live in.

You will be asked to offer 30-40 volunteer hours to a non-profit or community project, to be completed within a 3 month period. There is flexibility to work from home, in your free time, and depending on the project, to be a virtual TechMentor, regardless of which province you live in or where the non-profit organization is located in Canada.
