Volunteer Manitoba's Referral Services matches agencies looking for volunteers with people seeking volunteer opportunities with non-profit agencies. Non-profit agencies can register their volunteer opportunities on the Centre's website - free of charge. Current listings are posted on the Centre's website and sent to media, universities, colleges, high schools, trade schools, and selected agencies on a weekly basis. Individuals who are interested in volunteering may search our website for current listings or meet with one of our trained interviewers. The interviewer will discuss available volunteer positions and assist in matching the individual's personal skills and interests. Following a successful interview, individuals can directly contact agencies of their choice or ask the interviewer to initiate a referral on their behalf. Our Volunteer Referral Service will connect potential volunteers to opportunities for community involvement across the province. Our referral website is updated daily. If you would like to volunteer, please take the time to visit www.mbvolunteer.ca for a listing of current volunteer opportunities. Apply right through the website by clicking on "apply for position" or contact the organization directly.11/4/11
