October Volunteer Honour Roll

“Due to Thanusha’s ongoing commitment and tremendously positive impact on YVC, I was surprised to hear that she had yet to be nominated! Thanusha is a very reliable volunteer in the sense that I know she will go above and beyond on any task given, and have a smile on her face the entire time. I appreciate her positive attitude and her ability to adapt and thrive on a wide range of projects. She is mature, innovative, compassionate, thoughtful, and dedicated. We love having you with YVC! Congratulations Thanusha!” – Madison Bridal, Team Leader

“It’s always a pleasure to see Thanusha on projects. She has excellent intrapersonal skills and always does great when she has to interact with members of the community. Her dedication to Youth Central is inspiring, as she always shows up with a big smile ready to put in her best effort, regardless of the task, rain or shine. Thanusha’s friendly, fun and positive attitude make her an extraordinary volunteer, and this nomination is very well deserved. Keep on being amazing, Thanusha!” – Tanis Brown, Team Leader

“Thanusha is always willing to lend a hand or to pitch an idea of how we can do something better. Thanusha had grown tremendously since beginning volunteering. She has become confident in herself and her abilities, and it shows brightly during projects. Great job, Thanusha, this has been long coming and well deserved!” – Melanie Sing, Team Leader

“Thanusha’s volunteerism is astounding. She is responsible for the tasks asked of her and even goes above and beyond to complete them. She’s grown in her communication skills and has become more welcoming and open to her peers during projects. She’s exceptionally mature, reliable and dependable. Thanusha always brings a positive attitude and a welcoming environment for the other volunteers. I always look forward to having Thanusha at my projects. Keep up the good work Thanusha, you deserve this !” – Sree Nair, Team Leader

“Keertana is always a lot of fun to have on projects as she’s constantly smiling and interacting with our other volunteers! Her friendly attitude helps to create a very welcoming and inclusive atmosphere on every project she is a part of. Keertana is quick to take initiative and jump in when needed, and her positivity extends to members of the community where she shows real strength in working with people. You’re a star Keertana, and most definitely deserve to be honoured this month!” – Tanis Brown, Team Leader

“It’s my pleasure to support Keertana’s nomination for this month’s Honor Roll. I’ve been fortunate to have Keertana as a volunteer on several projects this year. She is thorough in completing assigned tasks and does so with a smile. Keertana brings an affirmative approach to each project. Most recently, she volunteered at the Outrun the Stigma fundraiser where she provided encouragement to participants and helped in setting up mental health information booths. Through her interactions with other volunteers on the project, I have come to know Keertana as an approachable, collaborative and conscientious person. I am consistently impressed with her ability to work alongside peers regardless of the nature of the project. She has in every way merited this award!” – Anthonia Anowai

“Naol’s positive attitude is a great addition to every project! She’s friendly and enthusiastic which made the seniors she was interacting with instantly more comfortable. I look forward to working with her more!” Janet Fleet, Team Leader

“Naol is fairly new to Youth Central, but that hasn’t stopped her from making a big impact on all of the projects she has been a part of so far! She is always excited to volunteer and takes initiative on projects to make sure that everything gets done, and gets done well. Her bright smile and friendly nature make her a joy to volunteer alongside! Keep on being amazing Naol, we are so happy to have you as a part of Youth Central!” – Tanis Brown, Team Leader
