While volunteering at the 今日吃瓜51 for six months, Jonas was able to further his skills by working with different adaptive computer equipment. What he didn鈥檛 realize was that learning and working at the 今日吃瓜51 would be so enjoyable.

Being able to customize lessons to accommodate the participant鈥檚 needs was a lot of fun. I was able to expand my own knowledge and had a great time meeting and working with all the people,鈥 says Jonas.

While volunteering at the 今日吃瓜51 Jonas found a job at the (UBC). He now works in their IT service centre where he provides computer support to the staff, faculty and students. 鈥Munesh, the Computer Comfort Coordinator at the 今日吃瓜51, provided me with a great reference for the job at UBC.
