Ever wanted to make a difference or share some local love in your community but didn't know where to start?

We're here to help! These easy Hi Neighbour volunteer activities will spark joy and inspire others in your community!

 

What is a Hi Neighbour volunteer activity?

Hi Neighbour volunteer activities are self-directed new and easy ways to get involved in your community. And they're fun to do!

We've created accessible ways for individuals to volunteer and pay it forward through a number of activities that can be done individually or by connecting with like-minded people.

We're inviting the residents of Babich-Mill Lake to join our volunteer team and help us create a positive impact right where you live. Sign up to be a part of Babich-Mill Lake's Hi Neighbour volunteer community!

 

Here's how this works:

Gather your friends and turn this activity into a party, or do it on your own.

When you're done, take photos of your neighbourhood beautification project and send them to Babich-Mill Lake's Hi Neighbour Community Builder, Jasmine. Share details of where to find your work of art, and they'll share it on our social channels. And you and your project could be featured in iVolunteer's newsletter to inspire others to create local love where they live! 

 

The activity:

Kindness stones are simply rocks with uplifting messages painted on them.  Sprinkle kindness stones throughout your neighbourhood for neighbours to take, leave them on your neighbour's doorstep, or place them on park benches!

Use this activity to uplift your community and spread some kindness! Here's a complete resource guide to inspire kindness and get you started. 

And if you're feeling ambitious, paint a few kindness stones and create a garden feature in your neighbourhood for everyone to enjoy and inspire others! 

Got your own idea that you'd like to try out? Get in touch with Jasmine to talk about it and get started!

The activity:

Start a community Wishing Tree for neighbours and friends to hang wishes and uplifting messages of hope for your community.

Select a tree in your neighbourhood that is visible to everyone - it could be in your own front yard or on a sidewalk. Get together with friends and family and write messages on paper tags or make them permanent wishes on wood tags that are light enough to be tied to your community Wishing Tree's branches and sway in the breeze.

Take it one step further:

Leave markers, tags and yarn in a weatherproof box at the base of the tree Create a sign encouraging passersby to write their wishes or stop to read the tags, admire the tree, and be inspired.

The activity:

Many neighbours may be too overwhelmed during an emergency to know where to turn for help.  Knowing you have a local emergency support network is critical for a crisis. Your neighbourhood Emergency Hub will provide a centralized meeting place and a strategy to allow your neighbourhood to remain self-sufficient in the days or weeks after natural disasters.

Inspire others in your community by sharing photos and details of your Neighbourhood Emergency Hub with Jasmine, and we'll feature them on Princeton's Hi Neighbour page. 

Not sure where to start? This resource will guide you through setting up your Neighbourhood Emergency Hub.

If you need help planning your activity, contact Jasmine.
