21 · Wednesday, June 9, 2010 OAKVILLE BEAVER · www.oakvillebeaver.com Summer Registration Wanted: Young Canadians ready for a challenge Volunteering is a great way to give back to the community, try new things and gain valuable experience - but for many young people, it's difficult to know where to start says Rick Ashbee, national executive director of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. Participating in the program is a great way for Canadian teens interested in making a difference in their community to find that start. Look around you ­ One of the best ways to get started with volunteering is by finding opportunities in your own community. Chances are, there's an opportunity for you to volunteer your time right in your own backyard where you get the added benefit of seeing the impact within your own community. Find your passion ­ As a first step, think about things you like to do or something new you'd like to try. Volunteer opportunities come in all shapes and sizes, so keep an open mind to find something that's a fit for you. Get started ­ Check out the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, a unique program that offers young people a balanced, non-competitive program of voluntary activities that encourages personal discovery and growth, self-reliance, perseverance, responsibility to themselves and service to their community. The Duke of Edinburgh's Award is nationwide and has more than 37,000 young people from across Canada engaged. Volunteering is just one aspect of the award that you work towards in order to achieve bronze, silver or gold award levels.
