Be a Volunteer

CNH is honoured by the number of neighbours and other volunteers who have dedicated countless hours to making our community a better place. All volunteers are important to us. Whether you are a single mother who volunteers to teach a craft to the children in our daycare or a banker offering your time to be part of our tutoring program, your contribution is precious to us. Volunteering is one of the most gratifying and mutually beneficial experiences that our neighbours participate in. We are proud to be an organization that exemplifies the ‘old school’ notion of being a compassionate and involved neighbour.

We are grateful to the more than 200 volunteers who contribute some 20,000 hours of time annually. Volunteers…

• Run errands and escort seniors to medical appointments
• Lead community game nights and special events
• Help children and youth with their homework
• Mentor, challenge and inspire our young adults
• Support stroke survivors in our adult day program
• Receive community hours and coveted student placement spots
• Advance their career goals, academic field of study or social interests
• Develop new skills such as program planning, research and group facilitation
• Expand their world by building relationships with incredible individuals from diverse experiences
