I’m the person to call when you
want to volunteer with Our
House. I screen, track, manage,
& coordinate all of the volunteers that come through here.
I’m responsible for putting on
volunteer events as well as
keeping up volunteer retention.

There is a lot of material that
we have on our website that
give a good idea about what our
volunteer opportunities look
like. We even have a slideshow
video. People can browse
through that & fill out the volunteer application that’s also
available online.

COMMUNICATION. It is vey
important that I stay on top of
what our volunteer needs are in
each program area, & those
needs can be very wide & varying
with different levels of skill or
knowledge that is required.

I hope to have a position working on education reform in the
public service sector.

Equal opportunity & access
for everyone to achieve
independence & happiness. Not
everyone was born with the
same tools to be able to do that,
& I would like to be a part of
addressing that issue & finding
solutions for it.
