Abstract

When Cory Kulczycki, an assistant professor in the Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies, was developing a course in Volunteer Management, he discovered there was very little material about volunteering in Saskatchewan. “I like to have current and local information and examples within my course content,” Kulczycki explains. So he decided to do some research. He wanted to find out post-secondary students’ perceptions and experiences about volunteering. It just so happened that Special Olympics Saskatchewan – where volunteers are vital for the organization’s programming and services – was looking at how to create an inclusive environment for volunteers and ways to attract post-secondary students.
