Impact Without Contact

In the care centres cohort, we focus on caring for seniors in isolation due to COVID-19 virtually. We provide a platform where volunteers can create cards for seniors, call seniors, and write letters to bring some positivity to this community. If you are interested in being a volunteer to make an impact in the care centres cohort, please contact Selina Qiu on Facebook or email us at [email protected]!

What better time to learn a new skill than in quarantine? That’s why we’ve implemented a volunteer courses section on our website, under Our Volunteers. Here, our volunteers will be able to share and teach their unique skills through quick videos, so we can all keep growing during the pandemic.

We’ve uploaded two brand new blog posts on our website! Check them out for a fun recipe and a mental health check-in with Aishwaria Path! - Submit any articles you want featured through our website or reach out to us!

Our new website has launched, which means new features and even more exciting opportunities! Learn how to navigate the website, filter opportunities, and submit volunteer hours through our newly uploaded video! Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCjM8DlR57w

Thank you so much to all our volunteers for submitting videos over the last two months! We’re so excited to finally be releasing our #UniteWithoutContact initiative. Our goal with this is to bring positivity and inspiration to our community. We're all in isolation, but that doesn't mean we're going through this alone - let's show everyone that we're here for each other, and that we'll support each other through this pandemic.

We're so excited to announce the upcoming launch of IWC Waterloo - our very first subsection! In the next few weeks, we'll be introducing opportunities that are tailored towards Waterloo residents. Look out for more information in the near future! Get excited, because we sure are!
