Thank you all for being here today and offering your knowledge and experience to us in this sector of experiential learning.
When I was in university, we had an opportunity in one of my classes to have 5% of our grade if we did 20 hours of volunteering. It was an easy 5%. I volunteered with numerous organizations within the city and doors opened up for me. I volunteered at the local sexual assault centre and they were willing to give us training for volunteers to take a phone at night. Here I was, a university kid, taking calls from people who were having flashbacks. This was a great experience for the real world, when I have somebody in my office who's having a traumatizing flashback. It wasn't mandatory that we had to volunteer 20 hours, but an optional mandatory. It was great and it led to all these different opportunities for many of my classmates.
I did have a couple of questions. I had a professor in university who said the most you're ever going to volunteer is throughout your degree, and then you'll find that it'll go down. I'm wondering if there's truth to that, or if you notice that there are more students in university who do volunteering as opposed to people who have a family or are in the workforce?
