Youth Volunteer Opportunities
Enrich your life as you enrich the lives of others.
Hello! My name is George Columbus,
and I am the Volunteer Coordinator for Cantata Adult Life
Services.
If you'd like to speak with
me about Cantata's Volunteer Opportunities, please call
me at 708-387-8366 or contact me via email at george.columbus@cantata.org.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Volunteering pays in so many ways. While you don't make money,
you do make a lasting difference in the lives of those you serve,
and in your life as well. It's a great way to fulfill internship or
service hour obligations for church, school or scouts and you'll
make new friends. And, volunteering pays on your resume because it
reveals a selfless, caring, "team player" aspect to your character
that employers value. In fact, a recent study tells us that:
- 73% of employers would recruit a candidate with volunteering
experience over one without.
- 94% percent of employees who volunteered to learn new skills
had benefited either by getting their first job, improving their
salary or being promoted.
- 94% of employers believe that volunteering can add to
skills.
Am I a good fit?
Cantata attracts people who like people. That positivity is
first and foremost. Beyond that, we look for volunteers who are
enthusiastic, compassionate, with a variety of backgrounds and
experience to draw from. If this sounds like you, we're eager to
talk.
