International Interns & Volunteers
Each year Boys & Girls Club of Greater Victoria is privileged to welcome youth from international programs to intern or volunteer with us. These programs offer experiential leadership development opportunities for global minded young people. The intent is to help them gain life and professional experience in an international setting. These talented volunteers and interns have the opportunity to experience a new culture, develop awareness about themselves and others and develop life skills they wouldn’t necessarily acquire if they weren’t part of an international work/volunteer experience.
This year we welcomed the following international youth to our staff team:
Lattitude Global Volunteering
Callan Abbott – New Zealand
