• Experiential Opportunities

Ideas for Experiential Opportunities:

• Speaking on behalf of a not for profit organization

• Volunteering to be on a Committee such as the BHCRI Training Committee

• In the case of Postdoctoral fellows, volunteering to be part of a Scientific Review Committee

• Volunteering to raise funds for a not for profit i.e. Molly Appeal, Terry Fox Foundation, Run for the Cure, Relay for Life, etc.

• Any cancer-related volunteer work

• Volunteering through the IWK with children in the cancer ward. This involves an application through the IWK to be accepted for the program

This is not intended to take up a lot of time but is just a way to give back to the organizations that support CRTP. For trainees with children, participating in a fundraising activity like the TFR would be a great way to help without causing more time away from family.
