Why?



Community

Social media promised to increase connections, but it’s failing. This community delivers. Here you will meet friends who share your work-ethic and together you will make an impact on hundreds of people who need you.



Professionalism

Getting the job done is easy, but getting it done right is something else. Immerse yourself in a community that rewards excellence, promotes creativity, and challenges its members to strive for perfection



Opportunity

When an interviewer asks you “tell me about a meaningful project you’ve worked on” you need an impressive answer. . . this is it. Be the person who seizes opportunity, not the one who lets it slip away.

An Official Branch of Ethics Bowl Canada

The table is big, but seats are limited. Take yours.

Senior Associate

They work closely with their department’s director to ensure projects are completed effectively and on time.

Experience: Minimum 6 months as a Junior Associate

Junior Associate

Junior Associates are brand-new to the organization; they are looking to get their feet wet by trying a variety of tasks to learn where they excell and how they can best support the organization’s many projects.

Regardless of your ambition, becoming a Junior Associate is a terrific way to dive into the ethics bowl world.

 The ethics bowl isn’t simply about helping students think abstractly about moral dilemmas, though that’s important. At its best, the bowl is really about enacting moments of personal and social transformation in the lives of actual, young people.
