VOLUNTEERING

Get involved with TESL Toronto! Volunteering is a great way to get involved and lend your support to the local community of ESL professionals. It also provides opportunities to gain experience, utilize your skills, and explore new challenges.

As a volunteer, you can give as much or as little of your time as you want. The type of work we’ll need you for is varied—and most of it centres around getting ready for our twice yearly conferences.

A Volunteer Coordinator maintains a database of active volunteers, identifies opportunities, and coordinates volunteer activities. If you are interested in coming out for the experience, the fun, and the chance to get to know more of your colleagues here in Toronto, get in touch with our Volunteer Coordinator at

tesltorontovolunteers@yahoo.ca

to add your name to the database. We'll be contacting you when the next volunteer opportunity becomes available.
