THE GOOD FOOD BOX
The Good Food Box is a way for student, faculty and staff to have access to fresh and organic produce conveniently on campus and at a low cost. Throughout the year, a variety of in-season fruits and vegetables, which are grown in Ontario whenever possible, are packed in recyclable containers and sent off to over 200 pick-up locations across the city.
There are many types of boxes that can be ordered to suit the needs of individuals and families who want to stay healthy. The Good Food Box is run through FoodShare Toronto. For more information on how to order your Good Food Box at York University, drop by our Member Services Office Room 106 Student Centre, or contact services@yfs.ca.
STUDENT WORK ABROAD PROGRAM
Established in 1975 with a small exchange in New Zealand, the SWAP is now Canada's largest international exchange program. SWAP provides students with the means to combine periods of employment with time for exploring their host countries. By living and working in another country, a SWAP participant has a greater opportunity to learn about the people, lifestyles, and cultures of the host country.
SWAP offers programs in eleven countries including: Australia, Austria, Britain, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, South Africa, South Pacific and the United States. Participants pay a registration fee, and receive all necessary working papers, accommodation upon arrival, and other services.
FREE HANDBOOK & DAILY PLANNER
By being a member of the YFS, you can get a free Member’s Handbook and Day Planner. These are produced through the Canadian Federation of Students’ ethical bulk-purchasing network using renewable energy sources and vegetable ink.
Each handbook contains information on the school, services, the YFS, and allows students to stay organized!
Keep an eye out for it during events in the first week of school or at the YFS Member Services office.
