Volunteer with us
A Place to Belong is on a constant search for open-hearted people who want to provide welcome and inclusion for someone who is experiencing life on the edge.
What volunteers might do:
- One volunteer regularly goes with someone to the museum or art gallery when there are shows on.
- Another person helps provide transport for a person to community events.
- Another welcomes a person to her home for cups of coffee and occasional meals.
- “I volunteer because it gives me a feeling of contributing and helping others”
- “I meet up with Jill from time to time. I love to hear her laugh when we go out for a coffee. We talk about life and how things are going”
- There are many simple and ordinary ways that people in community can provide welcome and inclusion.
