Volunteer Opportunities
- Weekly Volunteer Buddy – During the school year, we run regular programming in the evenings. Our weekly programs take place Monday-Thursday evenings from 5:00-7:00 pm and Sunday from 1:00-3:00 pm at our centre. Volunteers are paired with neurodivergent peers for a range of social and recreational activities. (Over 80% of activities take place outdoors, COVID protocols and guidelines always followed)
- End of Summer Volunteer Camp Counselor – We are looking for dynamic and friendly volunteers to join us at our annual End of Summer Camp! With single-day or full-week opportunities available, our camp has participants with special needs paired up one-on-one with volunteers to enjoy fun daily activities together with them!
- Virtual One-on-One Hangouts on Zoom – We are always looking for friendly, warm, and kind individuals to join some of our participants who are still staying home at weekly Zoom friendship hangouts.
- Special Events, Deliveries & Packaging – For special events, we need volunteers to help package and deliver packages. This is a low – to no contact volunteering opportunity.
More opportunities are always coming up and becoming available on a more occasional basis, please reach out if this is what interests you!
