TIME OR TALENT
Wellspring Calgary relies extensively on volunteers to help deliver programs and services.
We have a continuing need for volunteers in the following areas:
-
Peer Support: This service is provided by cancer survivors or caregivers who meet one-to-one with members to provide compassionate listening, information and understanding. They also introduce new members to Wellspring's other programs and assist with enrollment. Training is provided.
-
Front Desk: These contribute to a warm, welcoming atmosphere by answering the phones and greeting visitors. This position also includes assisting with light administrative duties, and training is provided.
-
Support Group Co-facilitators: Wellspring offers a number of support groups. Whenever possible, professional group leaders are accompanied by support group co-facilitators. These volunteers are people who have participated in a support group as a member and who are now interested in helping others cope with their disease. Wellspring provides training for this position.
-
Transportation: Volunteer drivers may be needed to bring members to and from Wellspring Calgary appointments.
-
Childcare: Volunteers are needed to help provide childcare for members who are attending programs at Wellspring Calgary.
-
Events and Outreach: Volunteers are needed to assist with events and other types of outreach activities. Scheduling can be flexible, and volunteers can select the type(s) of activities that interest them most.
-
Other Areas: Wellspring volunteers also help with a variety of other duties, including library maintenance, mailing information to members, gardening, fundraising and committee work.
