"I have had the privilege to work closely with corporate sponsors with are diversity champions as well as a cross functional team of incredible people who are there to help me grow. Through various OOBS initiatives & team socials I have built great friendships and met many amazing career/life mentors. it's truly a rewarding experience and I would recommend any LGBTQ+ & ally students seeking learning & leadership opportunities to apply and become an OOBS volunteer!"

“My experience working with Start Proud has been equally fun and rewarding. I attribute landing a competitive job out of business school directly to the network, skills and confidence I was able to gain through my involvement."

“Taking on a leadership role within OOBS has allowed me to gain exposure to other functional groups within the organization. I became more self-aware of the skills and value that I brought to the table, and this in turn has allowed me to gain more insight into the direction I wanted to take in my own professional career. Together, we creatively find solutions to help give Canadian LGBTQ students the tools for success. If this is a cause you feel passionate about, I would strongly recommend volunteering with us!"
