TSA CONNECT 2025: Volunteering
Advertisement
A professional networking and mentorship event celebrating volunteerism in Toronto’s architecture and design community.
For our next session of TSA CONNECT, we’re so excited to be bringing back one of our favourite topics: volunteering! Come join us for a night of networking and relationship building as our Featured Guests share their stories and advice as active volunteers in our community: from what motivates them to volunteer to how they balance their work, family, and volunteering obligations. Our Featured Guests represent a wide variety of volunteer roles and organizations, from senior volunteer roles in professional and city governance, to community and advocacy groups. If you are looking to give back to community, this is the perfect event to see what opportunities are out there for both senior and first-time volunteers.
So come out and meet some of the amazing volunteers making a difference in our community and to learn more about how you can get involved!
