Recreation Program Volunteers take part in the on-site facilitation of our day programs. This includes many things, such as playing physical games, guiding arts and crafts, and fostering meaningful conversation with our clients.

Our Day Programs operate out of three different locations across Edmonton, and volunteers are able to work alongside their supervisor to specify which location and time works best for their schedule.

If Interested: Applicants will be required to fill out a Volunteer Application Form and supply a Police Check w/ Vulnerable Sectors.

Training:

Volunteers are given one-on-one onboarding with Director of Operations/Program Manager to become aquainted and familiar with the policies, procedures, and program spaces.

This includes an initial Orientation shift alongside a supervisor, and on-going support from a Program Manager/Director of Operations.

ECE’s mission is to strengthen seniors’ and their caregivers’ independence and quality of life through excellence in recreational programming. We’re excited to welcome volunteers to join us in this journey.
