Description

Do you enjoy working with seniors?

Would you be willing to spare a few hours each month to help the Compassionate Neighbourhood Health Partners Society (Compassionate Neighbours) in our mission of supporting seniors?

We would love to hear from you!

 

Compassionate Neighbours hosts weekly Seniors Social Group events to provide refreshments, social connections, information, and activities to isolated seniors.  We are looking for volunteers to help with a variety of tasks at these events, including:

  • Helping seniors from a vehicle into the venue when arriving, and back to their vehicle again when leaving
  • Welcoming guests and providing name tags
  • Serving refreshments

We are currently looking for volunteers for Wednesday or Thursday mornings from 9:30 am to 12:00 pm.

Volunteers can choose to help every week, or at only one event per month.

 

Successful applicants will:

  • Agree to an interview by phone
  • Complete CNHPS’s orientation process (submit a volunteer application form & provide references, attend a virtual or in-person orientation session, and sign volunteer consent forms)
  • Submit a clean criminal record check (can be completed online via the iVolunteer site, or contact us if you prefer to submit a paper copy to the local police station)
  • Live in Chilliwack is preferred (or be willing to come to Chilliwack to participate in events)

 

For further information or to apply, please contact Arlene, the volunteer coordinator:
