Lynn Valley Care Centre - Volunteers Needed

Work Experience Opportunity

For Students (age 16 to 18)

 

Lynn Valley Care Centre needs High School Students to volunteer throughout the school year.

 

Students should be interested in helping and working with elderly Residents through visits, doing simple activities or games, doing “Tea Times”, giving mealtime assistance or assist the elderly Residents in various ways or provide “Security” for those in the facility.

 

Requirements:

•       Application Form

•       Reference Form

•       Criminal Record Check

(please get the forms from Ms. Abad) 

 

Since the processing of the Criminal Record Check takes several weeks, students who are interested in our volunteer program need to be encouraged to get that done promptly. Interview appointments for volunteering at Lynn Valley Care Centre are not made until after the student has received the Criminal Record Check Report back from the police, at which time the student then calls me to set up that appointment.
