Planned Activity or Social Support Volunteers
Before visiting as a Planned Activity or Social Support volunteer, volunteers attend a selection and training session and two in-service training sessions where the needs of older and people with a disability in the community are discussed and the rights and responsibilities of volunteers are clarified.  Volunteers can be assured of continuing support of their efforts from the Social Support Supervisor.

Generally, volunteers find their work to be interesting and personally rewarding. The minimum age for volunteers is 18.  Volunteers are asked to commit from 1-5 hours per week of their time to their work.
