Support & Volunteering
Does GWWIN offer services beyond networking?
Our goal is to bring members together through networking, where they build personal and business connections. Our members learn to refer, rely, and resource from each other without obligation. GWWIN does not offer direct services, instead building relationships within our community where you can gain the support you need for your business, profession, or career.
Can high school students gain Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) volunteer hours with GWWIN?
Yes! We are a registered not-for-profit and accept two or more high school volunteers each year to assist with operations. Send us an email and we will reach out to you.
How can I become a volunteer?
GWWIN is run by volunteers on our Board of Directors and in other central roles. Our community needs your support. Contact us for more information by email and we will connect you with volunteer opportunities.
Miscellaneous
Who can I contact if I have any questions?
