Volunteers play an important role at the Distress Centre. They contribute in many ways and share a common satisfaction in knowing that they are having a direct impact on people’s lives.

The heart of a volunteer is not measured in size, but by the depth of the commitment to make a difference in the lives of others. -- DeAnn Hollis

Potential Volunteers

The variety of volunteer roles at the Distress Centre provides potential volunteers with enough choices for each person to find the job that is right for them. Distress Centre volunteers make a difference every day. Our volunteers are on the front lines: greeting clients and visitors in the role of volunteer receptionist, managing calls on the crisis lines, and providing information and education for high school students. The agency is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, and fundraising volunteers work tirelessly to coordinate events such as our annual golf tournament. Often the first contact a person has with the Distress Centre is through a volunteer in some capacity.

If you have ever considered volunteering as a way to learn about people and life, meet new friends and make a positive contribution to your community, the Distress Centre would love to hear from you. Please visit our Potential Volunteers Page to get more information.
