How will this opportunity benefit the volunteer?
People who volunteer at the Lodge come from all walks of life and backgrounds and comprise an interesting and talented resource for the Residents and an on-going connection to community. Some people volunteer to fulfil a personal commitment to self, community and faith. We also welcome high school and university students who require volunteer hours for course work or admittance to post-secondary education. Together we build our Home and community here at the Lodge, and we welcome your contribution. (Students must be at least 14 years of age.) We encourage a minimum commitment of 6 months and/or 60 hours of volunteer work to foster meaningful relationships and building a sense of community which comes from such a commitment (exceptions are students in the co-op, placement and community service programs).
How will the organization benefit?
Our Volunteer Porters are crucial in ensuring that our Residents are able to attend recreational programs in a timely manner.
