Looking for a way to make a difference in your community?

Meal Exchange is a national, registered charity with 40 chapters across Canada. We're looking to expand, and are always seeking volunteers to work with.

We begin all volunteer experiences with a conversation on how you would like to use your skills and talents to help develop the organization. From there, we create dynamic volunteer opportunities that blend organizational objectives with your personal and professional goals!

Mentors

Calling all young professionals looking for meaningful volunteer opportunities! Meal Exchange's Mentoring Program is for you. Mentors provide guidance and support to Meal Exchange's Chapter Directors, the students who coordinate the programs that address hunger in their community. We're committed to seeing our Chapter Directors thrive in their leadership role on campus and as students. Your experience with project or event management combined with the training you receive as part of the program will ensure that we are developing the leaders of tomorrow. www.mealexchange.com/changemakers for more details -
