These children may be living with their families or in a foster home. Whatever interests and skills you have, chances are we can find a place where you can help children and families. Whether this is your first time volunteering or you have many years of experience, there are always opportunities to take on new challenges. Volunteering has much to offer, but the most important thing you can gain is the satisfaction of knowing you've made a difference in another person's life. You can develop new skills and gain useful knowledge and experience in dealing with people.
Orientation is mandatory and is conducted on a regular basis.
Ongoing training and professional support are offered to all volunteers in the form of workshops, seminars, supervision and support groups. Specialized training is provided for those who work in adolescent and child abuse groups. The time commitment varies greatly depending on the volunteer role. The number of hours can range from three or four per month to fifteen or twenty. Your time availability, interests and needs will largely determine the assignment.
