An integral part of our organisation, our volunteers come from all over Toronto and from a multitude of cultural and ethnic groups. Their roles vary depending on their abilities, interests and availability.

The goal of our Volunteer services is to improve the quality of life of Les Centres d’Accueil Heritage’s clients.

Volunteers, thanks to their initiative, allow our clients to remain independent and active participants in their community.

Our full-time coordinator of volunteer services, Jean Tété, assures the training of and support to our volunteers. He is helped by a Volunteer Committee.

In addition to the services offered by our staff, volunteers are involved in the following activities:

Friendly Visiting
Telephone Assurance Calls
Escorts to various appointments
Palliative Care
Elderly Persons Centre: including arts & crafts, society games, chapel, bingo, newsletter
Food service
Board of Directors or a Board committee
Fund raising
‘Chez Nous’ newsletter

Volunteer Committee members: Simonne Berry, Lise Devine, Jean Tété, Coodinator, Blanche Pahlawan and René Fitzgerald.

Volunteering is an excellent way to:

Put free time to good use
Meet new people and make new friends
Live new experiences
Feel good about oneself and develop one’s self-esteem
Encourage personal development and
Share one’s knowledge and skills.
