More about our Volunteer Program…
- Volunteers play an important role in supporting Youville Centre’s philosophy and daily operations
- Volunteers in the Child Development Program or Intensive Treatment Support Program must have/obtain a clear Level 3 Vulnerable Sector Check from the Police (dated within 6 mos.)
- Volunteers in ongoing assignments participate in a 3 month performance evaluation, and then annually moving forward. This collaborative process with Youville Centre staff also gives an opportunity for volunteers to provide feedback; we are always working to improve our programs and services and value all suggestions
UPDATE – Spring 2025
Thank you for your interest and support of Youville Centre!
Since the pandemic halted the volunteer program back in 2020, we have not resumed our onsite volunteer program to the size & extent it was in the past. We have a few regular volunteers supporting our Child Development Program and in our SWAP Shop (sorting in kind donations).
We do not have any current openings for volunteer roles in the Centre, but if our needs change, we will put a “call out” on our Facebook & Instagram social media accounts.
If you would like to stay connected to us, please follow our social media and sign up for our email list. Please email info@youvillecentre.org if you have any questions.
