Because we are a volunteer organization, there simply will be no Killick Coast North Seniors Co-operative without you. We see that as a great opportunity, we love the possibility of what our community can do together!
Volunteering is by no means a one-way proposition. Any of us who have ever volunteered know that giving really is its own reward. Bringing the skills we've honed over a lifetime, sharing them with people who need them, even spending time with other volunteers enhances our own sense of meaning and belonging. The small, everyday things we help out with as volunteers can make a great difference in someone's life, whether it's engaging with them socially, taking them to an appointment, grocery shopping or helping with some gardening or chores at their home.
We are looking for volunteers who are passionate about helping older adults in our community. Volunteers provide a wide range of services to our members and the public. They also help with administration of our co-operative. Many of our volunteers also decide to become members and many of our members also serve as volunteers.
As a volunteer, you decide your schedule and service activities. All our volunteers are welcome to participate in social activities and outings together with our members. Volunteers are invited and encouraged to become members, but they are not required to.
The success of Killick Coast North Seniors Co-operative depends on YOU!
Becoming a volunteer involves three simple steps:
- Complete the Volunteer Application (or contact us).
- You will need a Criminal Record Screening Certificate and Vulnerable Sector Check from the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC). We will provide an exemption letter for you so the fees will be waived by the RNC.
- After approval you will participate in a Volunteer Orientation and you are set.
