Are you looking to give back in a meaningful way to underrepresented college students?

Braven is recruiting volunteers to participate in our career exploration trek where first-generation college students will get an opportunity to learn more about different career fields at Twitter and the ins and outs of navigating the workforce as recent college graduates.

As a volunteer, you will be part of a diverse panel where you will be asked questions about your career path, what you do at Twitter, if you have any advice for recent grads in the workforce, etc. We will also open the floor for our students to ask any questions they have. After the panel, we would like to have a short networking session with our students and panelist to give them a chance to have a 1:1 conversation with each other and build connections.

This is a great opportunity to pay it forward and network with our students. You will get the chance to offer your expertise to students who are unsure about their career path or facing post graduation jitters.

We would love love to have five to seven panelists join us as well as 10-15 volunteers to network in 1:1s with our students.

In regards to the panel, our students come from diverse majors and career interests so a panel reflective of that diversity would be preferred but is not an absolute requirement. For reference, some of the most popular majors/career focuses are engineering, marketing, business, and human resources/administration.

ABOUT BRAVEN
Braven is a national nonprofit that empowers first-generation, underrepresented college students towards college graduation and a strong first job. Braven’s vision is that the next generation of leaders will emerge from everywhere. More info at ​bebraven.org

Thank you for your interest in becoming a volunteer with S.T.A.N.D. ASA. If selected, you will be joining a small hand-picked group of people dedicated to our 3P:

1. Preventing sexual assault through education and community awareness.
2. Providing peer support to survivors of sexual assault.
3. Promoting physical, mental and emotional well-being through holistic healing practices.

As an incorporated (charitable) society in Alberta, STAND ASA aims to create a safer and more just society for all. The 3P is our path forward. Positive, fair minded change and the evolution of hearts and minds surrounding all aspects of sexual violence is a journey. The destination we seek can only be achieved through individual personal changes in attitudes, thoughts, feelings and actions if we are to achieve behaviour change at a societal level. This is where you come in.

As a volunteer with STAND ASA, you are a role-model and an advocate for the kinds of attitudes, thoughts, feelings and actions that further the cause of preventing sexual assault and supporting survivors. This is the soul of why STAND ASA exists. It is an important responsibility. As a volunteer you will be joining hundreds of others within the Calgary and area communities who are committed to ending gender-based violence, in all its forms.

The Service Centric Approach
The STAND ASA culture is synonymous with service centricity. The service centric approach means that we are always thinking about the “what” and “how” of the service user experience be it co-worker, service user or the public.

Our primary focus is service users. Our definition of service users includes volunteers, visitors, guests, donors, vendors, suppliers and even co-workers as internal service users. Being service centric literally means that we put our service users at the heart and forefront of our service planning and decision making. This effort is a deliberate attempt to focus on the service users wants, needs and expectations. In this way, service improvements become the same as being able to anticipate and respond to the relevant service needs of our users.

 

Volunteer Requirements
There are certain minimum requirements for being a volunteer with STAND ASA. At present, we have two (2) categories of volunteers:

1. Activity Volunteers (AV)
2. Service Volunteers (SV)

Activity Volunteers (AV)
Activity Volunteers contributes to or participates in a variety of STAND ASA sponsored activities and events doing a variety of helpful things (tasks and activities) to move projects forward under the direction and supervision of a Volunteer Lead.

Service Volunteer (SV)
Service Volunteers serve in positions requiring high dependability, trust and confidentiality. SVs are required to successfully complete specific STAND ASA training and make a minimum commitment to their volunteer service time – a minimum of one (1) year of service.

Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of female gynecologic deaths because there is no early detection test. That is why every year we unite for our cherished Together in Teal Walk event. This event provides an opportunity to honor all those in our community who have been impacted by ovarian cancer and helps raise awareness about the disease. From water station management, to directing traffic, to helping with tent activities, we rely on day-of volunteers to help the event run smoothly.
