My Co-op experience in Canada

Hi friends,

I can say I am a lucky person.
I had a great co-op experience In Toronto Green Community , a grassroots non-profit organization that educates people about environment, helping Torontonians to leave in a more sustainable way in order to make Toronto a greener city, a better place to live, work and play.
After volunteering for two Christmas in their Eco Gift Wrapping program I understood that the best thing is to  work for a cause you believe, and I believe in their dreams of a better world.
I can say it was a perfect combination of learning and having a great time helping.
During three months I had the chance to promote the organization in many events related to their programs. I participated on  Lost Rivers Walks; guided tours that play with our imagination. Highly knowledgeable volunteers guide people around Toronto showing the places where hidden creeks and rivers are; it was very rewarding to promote the walks because they are a free amazing experience where you can learn about history and environment at the same time.
I am proud to say that I gave my little contribution to their new website that is worth checking... so many new experiences, I helped in their Community Garden  I made signs for workshops and met very nice, helpful  good people that work because they are passionate and believe in what they do.
In addition to the work experience, I learned how powerful we can be when we are passionate about the things we do... my passion is Marketing, it challenges me...  And you what is your passion ? Think about and go for it!
