Events
Second Resume/Career Workshop (July 2011) On July 9, 2011, we hosted our second Careers and Resume workshop. The afternoon began with an introduction on CCCYC, then followed by workshops on: resume writing, job search, cover letter writing, and interviews. They were presented by Pauline Chong, Kelvin Choi, and Lena Song, respectively. It was not only a time of learning, but it was also a time to network, to be involved in discussions, and to have fun! Check out CCCYC's newest blog post for the full recap and pictures! Take the Lead to Feed the Need (March - August 2009) This was a youth initiative that was a response to the economic crisis in recent times. CCCYC partnered up with CCC and all proceeds went to the Toronto Daily Bread Food Bank. There was an awareness campaign, kick-off ceremony, food drive, food sorting at the Daily Bread facilities, and finished off with a BBQ. The initiative raised over $10,000 and 600 lbs of food. This was a big success in helping out the community. Job Search Initiative - Resume Workshop (July 2009) CCCYC organized a resume workshop to help youth prepare for their job search. Youth attending the workshop received pointers on wiring a resume from a presentation and peer reviews were done to look over each attendees resumes. A recruiter was also present to provide professional advice on job-hunting. High School Volunteer Fair (2004-2006) The High School Volunteer Fair was initiated to help all high school students in the GTA to attain their mandatory volunteer hours as well as exposure to the many types of volunteer opportunities and organizations out there. In the past, volunteer organizations such as United Way of Greater Toronto, Toronto Public Library, Heart & Stroke Foundation and more have attended the fair. We continue to work with organizations by providing volunteer opportunities with our members. Chinese Canadian Youth Conference (2000-2005) The Chinese Canadian Youth Conference has held workshops and forums on youth topics ranging from careers to youth violence to identity - Are you Chinese? Are you Canadian? The most recent conference focused on transitioning from secondary to post-secondary education. Speakers were brought in to discuss about academic transition, social transition, and wellness (physical & mental). Community
