Individual Volunteering
Volunteers are the cornerstone of our work. To be a volunteer in Community and Family Services throughout the year, you must be 18 years or older, available Monday – Friday from 10:00am – 4:00pm and be willing to submit a police check.
Please note that while we appreciate your interest, due to the sheer number of requests we receive, not all inquiries or applications can be replied to.
For Group Volunteering opportunities, please contact Sheryl Rooth, Volunteer Coordinator at srooth@centreofhope.ca
