Volunteer
Volunteers are vital to the success of the Health Centre!
We can’t provide the services and programs that we do without help from the community. We value our volunteers and hope that each individual learns and benefits from their experience as much as we do.
We invest time and energy to ensure our volunteers have meaningful experiences and make special connections through their time at the Health Centre. We also are dedicated to providing high-quality programs and services for our clients. Therefore we ask individuals to make the same investment in our volunteer program by offering a minimum 1-year time commitment for each position.
