Covenant House - Thank-a-Thon Volunteers

Covenant House are currently looking for volunteers to say thank you to their donor family.


CH helps youth aged 16-24 who have fled physical, emotional and/or sexual abuse, those who have been forced from their homes or those who have aged out of foster care. 

Volunteers will not only learn more about Covenant House Vancouver, they will be making a difference in a youth's life with each donor thanked.   They will also get to spend more time with other youths in a fun and positive environment and importantly, they will gain invaluable experience as volunteers in a non-profit setting.
