Benefits of Volunteering

Volunteers are people like you who want to make a difference in their community. When you become an Orillia & District Arts Council volunteer, you have a chance to:

  • Help a volunteer-based arts organization become an active and vibrant resource to the community
  • Help improve the quality of community life
  • Support an arts related cause that you believe in
  • Work with other members of the team to achieve a specific goal

Volunteering also helps you make a difference in your own life. You can:

  • Use your professional skills in a new setting
  • Meet other people who share your interests and passions
  • Learn new skills and discover new talents
  • Advance your career or gain experience and qualifications for future employment, scholarships, bursaries and academic programs
  • Build your network and establish contacts in your field of interest
  • Create a schedule that works for you
  • Have fun in a creative environment
