Volunteer

There are minimally two types of volunteer opportunities available at the Centre:

On-site—volunteering for a shift on a Mon., Wed., Thurs., or Fri. in your community. Our volunteers are trained to work with our clients and families. The volunteers provide support for our families and clients, distribute supplies free of charge to our clients, organize the donations as they come in, assemble the gift layettes for the newborns of our clients.

Board members are trained prior to participating as well. They provide oversight to the ministry and meet once monthly and commit to securing sponsorship of a table at our annual dinner event.

Both types of volunteering require application (click here), police check and completion of training prior to involvement. For your police check for on-site volunteering, you may require a volunteer duties letter (click here).

There is staff supervision available on-site.

The next volunteer training is a Phase 1 training for volunteers. This training will occur on Sat May 23, 2015 starting at 9:00 a.m. at our Oshawa site.

If you would like to participate in the next training, we will need your application and references at least ONE WEEK prior to training. This information MUST be submitted beforehand. For more info, call Sue at 905-720-3252 for more information or contact us by email.
