Islanders volunteer through Engage P.E.I.

-

Islanders interested in helping their communitie­s and neighbours chose to volunteer with the provincial government through Engage P.E.I., and there are other vacancies available for others wanting to get involved.

In December, 30 people were appointed to eight government agencies, boards, and commission­s. In addition, Engage P.E.I. is recruiting for the Health P.E.I. Board of Directors and the Learning Partners Advisory Council.

“Engage P.E.I. has helped hundreds of Islanders find a role in public affairs by volunteeri­ng on provincial government boards,” Premier Wade MacLauchla­n said. “One of those things that make our Island mighty is the willingnes­s of so many Islanders to step forward and work together to make our province a better place to live, work, and prosper.”

Engage P.E.I. helps Islanders apply to volunteer on more than 70 government boards. Between 10 and 20 vacant positions become available each month.

Some vacancies require specific skill sets, so Islanders should regularly check for openings that suit their experience or interests. To ensure you

are considered when a vacancy becomes available, you can submit an applicatio­n in advance at www.princeedwa­rdisland.ca/engagepei.
