Are you a young adult who would like to make a difference in someone’s life?
Description
Alice is in her early 20s and would like a friend around the same age who is interested in going to the mall, restaurants, and bars. Someone who is confident, supportive and can lead the way for her and help her extend her range of age appropriate activities.
As a friend to someone with a disability you can have a profound effect on their life by reducing loneliness and isolation; helping to achieve hopes and dreams; developing personal networks and relationships; decreasing vulnerability; and increasing self-confidence, mental and physical health.
Join our team of more than 250 volunteer Allies who are enriching the lives of someone in their community. You will gain a wonderful new friendship – someone to share activities that you love. You need to be over the age of 18 and to make a minimum commitment of 12 months to this role [Note: your status in Canada may affect your ability to make this commitment e.g. visitor visa, student visa, refugee claimant]. Preparation and ongoing support are provided.
