	Endeavour Volunteer Consulting for Non-Profits attracts and trains PhD students with an interest in management consulting Rashid Ghazalah PhD Candidate, University of Toronto Consultant, Association for Bright Children of Ontario, 2008 “The orientation session not only was it enlightening, it was fun as well. All Endeavour volunteers got to know more of each others various experiences through an icebreaker game of bingo. We were provided with some background information about Endeavour by its executives and some past members. After the keynote speech, we assembled into our assigned groups and were given a case study to solve. It was a learning experience to say the least and from that day on, I knew that good work will be done by Endeavour and for good causes. Most importantly, I met some great people.”
