West Neighbourhood House is grateful for the commitment and dedication of our Volunteers. Volunteers are the lifeblood of the House, and we couldn’t do it without you. We’d love to count you among them!
Whether it’s teaching a child to read or delivering a meal to a senior, you can make an incredible difference in the lives of others through volunteering at West Neighbourhood House. Our volunteers are of all ages, ethnic and racial backgrounds, and experiences.
Volunteering is a great way to:
- Use your current skills for a good cause and learn new skills
- Take personal satisfaction from helping others
- Meet new people, network and create new friendships
- Gain worthwhile work experience
- Make a positive difference in your community
