VolunTEENS Program

Our Teen Volunteer Program provides volunteer roles for students in Grades 9-12 who are currently enrolled in any high school so that they may fulfil their Community Service Hours requirement before graduation. The VolunTEENS program also is designed to help teens get their first taste of the world of employment while gaining their high school volunteering requirements.

​

Students will experience their first job interviews, complete a variety of certifications, and receive a letter of recommendation upon completion of their time with us. This allows them to gain the important skills needed to set themselves up for success in a competitive job market.

To apply for our VolunTEENS Program, please submit your resume and completed application form to:
