We’re excited to share an incredible volunteer opportunity with the Saturday Program (U of T – St. George Campus), the largest community outreach initiative under the U of T Medical Society. Since 1996, our program has provided free tutoring and mentorship to help high school students in Toronto—many from underrepresented or marginalized communities—discover their potential and achieve their educational goals.
We are looking for students looking to make a meaningful impact in the lives of youth, and develop themselves along the way. By joining the program you will:
- Build leadership and teaching skills through hands-on tutoring and mentorship.
- Develop cultural competence and communication skills by working with diverse student populations.
- Collaborate with peers across healthcare disciplines (medicine, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy, and more).
- Gain verifiable volunteer experience with opportunities to connect with community partners and healthcare professionals.
Volunteering with the Saturday Program is more than community service—it’s a chance to grow as a mentor, strengthen professional skills, and become part of a vibrant U of T tradition of equity and empowerment.
What is the time commitment?
The program runs from January 10th, 2026 to March 28th, 2026 and will run for 10 Saturdays. Each session is held in the Medical Sciences Building and goes from 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM. Each volunteer must attend at least 8/10 sessions to be eligible for CCR and volunteer verification.
If you are interested in volunteering with us, please fill out the application form HERE by October 4th at 11:59 PM.
