University, College or recent High School Grad Mentor Volunteer
CanU Mentors ensure the participating youth get to and from their learning experiences safely and on time. CanU Mentors can select to work with 2 different cohort groups involving youth in Grades 5-9 while working with other university students. They introduce the CanU youth to the dream of a post-secondary education while participating alongside them in the different learning experiences. CanU Mentors' main goal is to inspire hope, confidence and action in our participating youth. This volunteer opportunity is open to students in any faculty, college or department from any post-secondary institution.

Virtual Tutor Volunteer
Is there a subject that you’re passionate about? Is there a Grade level or particular subject that you would be comfortable tutoring? Are you free to commit your time at least once a week, for 3 months? We’re looking to pair CanU volunteers with CanU kids that need support with their school work virtually. We can set this up to meet the needs of your schedule! We would really like to do group tutoring, so if you and a friend want to tutor one or two CanU kids, that is possible too!

Program Coordinator/Facilitator
A volunteer opportunity to design a Learning Experience. Do you have an idea for a Learning Experience (program) for a specific Grade that you would like to try with a small group of CanU Kids? Here is your chance to give it a go! Come up with a Learning Experience by yourself or with some friends. Lead your experience to one group of CanU kids or several groups! Be creative and try something new, this can be anything you are passionate about!
