Assist our Needle Exchange Coordinator at our Needle Exchange. Spaces are limited and are more available in the summer.
We provide a variety of get together events and activities for retired persons, seniors, and elderly individuals. We need volunteers to assist with planning and preparing events and activities for our retired members, as well as general administrative work such as answering phones.
Meet regularly with ex-offenders to develop a bond of friendship; advocate and stand with them during times of crisis; confront them respectfully about inappropriate attitudes and behaviours; celebrate anniversaries, birthdays, and milestones.
Background check required
This is a great way to help out the organization if you cannot commit to regular volunteering hours. Throughout the year, we have a few awareness events as well as our annual fundraising events:
– The Amazing Race Against HIV – held on a Saturday in August or September
– The Annual AIDS Benefit – held at the GLCR the Friday evening closest to December 1st
Every day, we depend on volunteers to help serve meals, support families, care for vulnerable individuals, and strengthen our neighbourhoods. Volunteer opportunities could include sorting items, stocking shelves, making sandwiches and packing bag lunches, assisting in meal preparation and kitchen tasks, organizing community events, or contributing to office administration.
Set up and tear down mobile stores. Help with store operation and inventory counts.
Help us to package condoms, Needle Exchange supplies, stamping pamphlets, and so much more! Twice a month (1st and 3rd Thursday) 5-8pm held at the APSS office.
