Sprott Serves
There are many ways for our alumni to get involved and give back to Sprott. We strive to match alumni volunteers with opportunities that are meaningful and rewarding.
Join fellow Sprott alumni and volunteer within the Ottawa community.
The goal of this initiative is to provide an opportunity for Sprott alumni get together
and give back to the greater Ottawa community while strengthening the Sprott alumni network.
Upcoming Opportunities
Economics for Success (EFS) focuses on financial literacy, challenges students to reflect on their personal and professional goals and highlights the advantages of education and training for long-term success. Volunteers help students prepare a personal budget, assist with role-play networking, introduce interview scenarios, and teach students about career choices. Due to COVID restrictions, EFS has been condensed and is currently being offered as a 1-2 hour virtual program.
This volunteer role is for you if:
- You want to teach youth the value of planning for the future, of managing their money and preparing for life after secondary school
- You like sharing your personal stories and experiences
- You enjoy facilitating groups or want to practice your public speaking skills
Your volunteer commitment:
- Approx. 1 hour Junior Achievements orientation/training session with other Sprott Alumni
- Familiarize yourself with the material and virtual meeting platform (typically Google Meets)
- Present the prepared slide deck and activities virtually (typically via Google Meets) either on your own or with a partner to 1 class. (This is done in 1 or 2 45-60 minute sessions)
- Repeat only if desired (volunteers can volunteer on more than one volunteer day).
