  • Develop and facilitate volunteer initiatives
  • Develop and experience a leadership role and its impact on themselves and the community
  • Support improvement of the Conestoga Community and make connections with other students

  • Checking email correspondence daily
  • Monthly meetings
  • Maintaining communication with the Leadership department
  • Collaborating with a team of Leadership Ambassadors
  • Executing service leadership initiatives within the college and community
