Site Manager
Hi! I’m the person working diligently in the background to help make it easier for volunteers to volunteer! I created Volunteer Windsor to address a need in Windsor, and more importantly, because I am passionate about volunteering.
About me? I have a background in engineering, computer science and other sciences (biochemistry, chemistry). My family and my full-time job as an engineer with the Government of Canada keeps me very busy. The time I dedicate to Volunteer Windsor is usually in the wee hours of the morning.
Apart from my education and work experience, I love my family, I’m an avid cyclist, a lifelong learner, a music lover, and a big fan of anything computer-related.
How It Works
Connecting volunteers with nonprofits is simple.
Browse Opportunities
Nonprofits post opportunities. Individuals browse and choose what interests them.
Promotion & Advertising
Promoting the efforts of nonprofit organizations and available volunteer opportunities is an important job. We will, when time permits, promote both our website, participating nonprofit organizations and individual volunteer opportunities.
You may have noticed that we have advertisements on several of our pages. The revenue generated from these ads covers domain registration and web hosting costs, ensuring we can scale as our community grows.
