About this Event
There are many ways of building your professional network, and one of the most rewarding ways is of course through volunteering. Volunteering can help you meet like-minded people, explore diverse interests, practice and strengthen soft skills, and learn about new opportunities you wouldn’t have heard about otherwise—all while contributing to a good cause. And in Toronto, we are lucky to have numerous organizations related to the built environment who are making a real difference in our city, and who depend on volunteers to make much of their work possible.
Join us for a night of networking and relationship building, as we welcome representatives from 16 of these organizations, all sharing a little bit about what they do, how they operate, and—most importantly—how you can get involved. From professional associations and community groups, to city-led initiatives and non-profit organizations serving numerous causes like sustainability, accessibility, and more, our Featured Guests represent a wide range of volunteering opportunities that have a direct impact on the built environment and those who shape it.
