Volunteering at Jeffery Hale Community Services 

Jeffery Hale Community Services provides top-quality services to the Capitale-Nationale region’s English-speaking community. Jeffery Hale – Saint Brigid’s is an excellent reflection of the community’s strong tradition of volunteering. Without our wonderful volunteers, we would not be able to offer such a wide array of services.

Where we need volunteers

Day Centre

Many people look forward to the weekly activity at the Day Centre. You can make their day even better by helping us serve meals and dining with participants, or by baking a cake for a special occasion. This allows our staff to spend more quality time with attendees.

Morning phone call

Many of the people we serve live alone, feel isolated, or worry about their health or safety. A quick, cheerful phone call from a volunteer can brighten their day.

In-home stimulation

If you’re a student at CEGEP Champlain – St. Lawrence looking for on-the-job experience with seniors, this is the program for you! Students receive special training on how to conduct in-home physical stimulation and recreational activities safely.

Vaccination

Welcome people for their annual vaccinations.

In exchange for your time and dedication, we offer:

A pleasant and safe environment

Jeffery Hale – Saint Brigid’s is well run and has a family-like atmosphere. The CNESST handles volunteer compensation.

Proper supervision

If you have questions about your tasks, client relations, or anything else, a volunteer coordinator is always available to oversee activities and help make the volunteering experience as enjoyable as possible.

An invitation to our annual volunteer recognition event

Every year, we hold a special event to thank all our volunteers. It’s also an excellent opportunity to meet other community members.

A letter of recommendation

We would be delighted to write a letter of recommendation stating that you are one of our volunteers. You can use the letter to apply for a job, a bursary, and so on.

An opportunity to give a lasting gift

As a Jeffery Hale – Saint Brigid’s volunteer, you’ll meet people, share your experience, learn new skills, and improve our clients’ quality of life. It’s the perfect opportunity to do something different and special.
