Being in the Public Relations program it is important especially these days to have volunteer work on your resume. I recently discovered the importance of volunteering when I heard a guest speaker tell me that having volunteer work on your resume will set you apart from the rest of the competition. I took this advice and now believe its true, especially when looking for future employment.
I recent found an organization called Friends of the Trail. I decided I wanted to take on this volunteer opportunity because it is a great way to get hands on start in the PR industry. I found it to be a great way to gain experience helping out with fund raisers, marketing and networking.
Friends of the train is an organization based out of Frankford Ontario. Friends of the Trail sets out to help preserve the historical trail as well to spread awareness of the tranquil and relaxing environment for the general public to experience.
In the end I can see this organization benefitting from taking me on as a volunteer and helping them to establish a stronger presence in Frankford and surrounding areas. I also hope to help raise funds and awareness for the trail. I can also benefit from this experience by networking with professionals as well to further my skills in PR, marketing and volunteering.
