How do I find a volunteer position at an architecture firm?
I am a first year architecture student from Vancouver and I am looking for a volunteer position in an architecture firm for this summer. I am wondering if there is any site I can get information, or I am thinking rather a radical move, getting all the firms' numbers and addresses and personally going each one of them and show my portfolio. Because I am only a first year, I don't have real rich experience yet, and I didn't even learn CAD at school. So I am wondering whether I even stand a chance for a volunteer position. Where can I find such information?

- "Hi"......You're looking at an "Internship" I'd imagine and I think you've hit the nail right on the head ! You'll have to do the leg work yourself , simply to show you are eager ! I think you're smart doing it as although you would be be unpaid it'll still be a great hands on learning experience and compliment your studies ! Another factor is that it will look good on your Resume and may even lead into a position. Good luck...great profession BTW !
