Discover your inner Volunteer...
Volunteer Canada has developed a new quiz to help potential Volunteers discover both the issues they would like to support and the type of volunteering they would like to participate in.
I've taken the quiz. It was fun and short. Apparently I'm a groupie Volunteer who thrives on camaraderie, convenience and goal orientated activities. Short-term event related volunteering is my forte.
