Volunteers
are valuable part of our team. Working with volunteers allows people the privilege
of helping others and become the best they can be.
Despite our specially trained
staff and registered nurses who provide extensive care as required, the children
benefit from having volunteers help out with their daily activities such as crafts, helping with homework; reading stories and even helping
out at field trips and outings. We offer flexibility to our volunteers. Both
long term commitment or occasional volunteers are welcome.
Who can volunteer
We
accept volunteers aged 14 and over. For youth, this is an excellent learning
environment which adds value to your education as you gain confidence, competence
and a sense of self-esteem. This can also be a career exploration opportunity
because you are looking into a different field. Family volunteering (parents and
youth) can be a nice weekend activity for your family as well.
Starting off with an in-house
tour and orientation and on-going
support from our friendly staff, volunteering at the Ottawa Rotary Home is a fun
and valuable experience.
