The Fanshawe Student Union offers a variety of opportunities for Fanshawe College students to volunteer on campus. Click/tap on the volunteer positions below to view a description.
Red Squad is a chosen group of full-time student volunteers who are responsible for informing Fanshawe students about FSU services, events and activities, engaging with the student body, and connecting people to each other in the Fanshawe community. Red Squad Volunteers require high initiative and enthusiasm with students, the ability to engage and communicate with everybody, and must be willing to maintain professional and personal growth within the program and the College.
The Red Squad Team stays together each semester and students are welcome to continue with the team each term, if eligibility is met. Applications will open up when we require more volunteers, and appropriate training and orientation follows with each recruitment.
Red Squad Volunteers who participate in pre-approved hours will qualify to add this opportunity to their Co-Curricular Record (CCR). For more information on how to create and add to your CCR, visit our Co-Curricular Record page.
For more information about Red Squad and other volunteer opportunities, please contact the Student Life Coordinator, Sophia Mills-Vissers at s_mills-vissers@nullfanshawec.ca.
