LA&PS Voices Volunteer Blog Writer
The LA&PS Voices Blog is a diverse online space for students to share their written works to promote a collective sense of community through poetry, academic pieces, culture reviews and more.
As a LA&PS Voices Volunteer Blog Writer, you will contribute to this space with articles that reflect your journey at York University, your identity, activities you enjoy or your thoughts.
To be a writer, you do not have to be in a Professional Writing or Creative Writing program; you can be an aspiring writer or someone who wants to share their experiences to help other students!
With your participation, you will work closely with the LA&PS Colleges Team and meet with other volunteers to discuss your articles. We ask you to contribute one article per semester during the academic year.
We are accepting applications until mid-August. Apply Now!
First Year Experience (FYE) Peer Mentor
The program helps students navigate the university (which includes wayfinding and connecting students to resources), make friends, build community, develop skills for success, and find the fun on campus.
Our FYE Peer Mentors volunteers are a key part of supporting students - they are upper year (2nd year+) LA&PS students eager to share their experiences and typically join us from August until April of each academic year.
As a FYE Peer Mentor, you’ll have a variety of ways to participate in the program and support students – mentors will be holding one-on-one meetings and office hours, supporting fun social events, staffing the LA&PS Community Hub, doing outreach through tabling and classroom visits, and helping students on the FYE eClass.

The LA&PS Community Hub serves as a space where students can discover resources, connect, and collaborate.
Your participation as a College Crew Volunteer offers diverse opportunities to contribute and make a difference. You will assist with LA&PS Colleges' events, facilitate student engagement, provide guidance on accessing campus resources, and conduct outreach through tabling activities.
Be part of a dynamic team that is committed to creating a supportive and enriching atmosphere for LA&PS students, helping them thrive during their academic journey. Join us in building a vibrant community that fosters growth, connection, and success.
