May’s Volunteer of the Month (VOTM) is Shawn Mutete! Thank you for all of your hard work! Learn a bit about him below and see his work in the past month. If you want to be June’s VOTM, consider participating in our Research & Innovation Campaign!
Shawn has been an active member of GreenUR, and we want to congratulate him for his hard work and continued support. He’s been on top of post-workshop activities, and his work has been featured on our Instagram page!
See what he has to say below:
“My name is Shawn Mutete. I currently attend Streetsville Secondary School. Some of my hobbies are playing basketball, reading, playing chess, playing soccer (playing basically any sport), hanging with friends, anime, shows, etc. I love playing basketball because it’s my favourite sport, and I’m actually on my school team. My favourite subject is English because I love reading and writing so things come easy when I’m writing an essay, or reading a text, or answering questions. Some of my goals are: to get better at basketball and improve my game, continue to do good in school, and ultimately graduate high school. My long-term goals are unclear right now as I’m still not clear about what I want to pursue in life. Thanks for reading!”
Thank you Shawn for your hard work, and we can’t wait to see more from you in the future!

April's Volunteer of the Month - Azhar Dilmamode
With the conclusion of our final E in Waste workshop, we’ve chosen a student who’s provided exemplary work throughout the past month to be April’s recipient of VOTM. His consistency with volunteering, and the improvements with each successive work submitted makes him an honorary GreenUR volunteer. Here are some words from Azhar:
Hi there!
I am really happy to hear that I became April’s Volunteer of the Month! I’m just another rookie video game artist practicing to hopefully be a more competent developer despite the fact that I want to become a marine biologist – the career which has the least to do with coding… Kinda funny how that works out in the end huh?
We wish you could volunteer with us forever Azhar, but in all seriousness we can’t wait to see where your creativity takes you next. Keep up the amazing work!
