Join the Better at Home team to help local seniors stay independent, nourished, and connected to our community. We offer flexible schedules, ongoing training/support, and direct mileage reimbursement ($0.65/km, or donatable for a tax receipt).
Wat You’ll Do: Bridge the gap from isolation to inclusion by welcoming seniors at Community Connection Lunches, acting as a buddy for local outings (bingo, tai chi, coffee visits, park walks), or serving as a "Navigation Buddy" for BC Transit and local errands.
Onboarding & Next Steps
Express Interest: Click the respond button online or contact Program Coordinator Dee Plante directly at 250-207-5752 to schedule an in-person or phone meeting.
Background Check: Complete a standard Vulnerable Sector Criminal Record Check (available online via iVolunteer or through the organization) to ensure senior safety. Valid BC Driver’s License, access to a vehicle in good operating condition, adequate insurance coverage, and a clean Driver’s Abstract will be required for those who want to and can support transportation to community activities.
Orientation: Complete the orientation process and receive ongoing support as you start your volunteer role.
We look forward to hearing from you to work together to assist our local seniors to live their best life with local support.
