A brief description of the institution’s program to support employee volunteering:
There are several international volunteer positions available for full-time Humber College employees who feel they have skills to offer and the passion for helping those in need. Leave for Change is part of Uniterra, an important international volunteer program in Canada, which is managed by two non-profit organizations: WUSC (World University Service Canada) and CECI (Canadian Centre for International Studies and Cooperation).
The employee volunteers during their vacation and serves for approximately three to four weeks; prior to leaving, the employee will participate in two days of pre-departure training. Once the employee arrives at their destination, they will share knowledge and skills with the local partner organization and on return, shares the experience with colleagues. Humber College, as a partner of the Leave for Change program sponsors full-time Humber employees to participate in the program by contributing $6,000 per employee volunteer to Uniterra for the placement, facilitating in the volunteer selection process and by supporting volunteers in sharing their experience upon return.
Leave for Change provides pre-departure training and covers the cost of: vaccinations, insurance, airfare, lodging and provides a daily stipend. In addition, they also coordinate transportation, in-field logistics and monitor security and the well-being of volunteers in the field.
