Volunteering ACT

Looking for an exciting volunteering opportunity with us? Become a volunteer mentor! 😍

As a volunteer mentor, you will be introduced to and matched with a participant of the Inclusive Volunteering Pathways to Employment Program using a person-centred approach.

You will assist by helping a participant build confidence and develop new skills within their volunteer role as they work towards their set goals. Their goals may be learning-specific tasks, comfortably interacting with new people, or gaining vital experience in a work environment. For some participants, showing up for a regular shift is an achievement. 💜
