Do you enjoy working with seniors and meeting new people?

Would you be willing to spare a few hours each month to help the Compassionate Neighbourhood Health Partners Society (Compassionate Neighbours) in our mission of supporting seniors?

We would love to hear from you!

Compassionate Neighbours hosts weekly Seniors Connect Café events to provide refreshments, social connections, information, and activities for isolated seniors.  We are looking for volunteers to help with a variety of tasks at these events, including:

  • Helping seniors from a vehicle into the venue when arriving, and back to their vehicle again when leaving
  • Welcoming guests and providing name tags
  • Serving refreshments

We are currently looking for volunteers on certain Wednesdays or Thursdays of each month, from 9:30am – 12:00pm.

Volunteers can choose to help with multiple events or only one event per month.

Successful applicants will:

  • Agree to an interview by phone
  • Complete CNHPS’s orientation process (submit a volunteer application form, attend a virtual orientation session, and sign volunteer consent forms)
  • Submit a clean police information check (can be completed online via the iVolunteer site, or contact us if you prefer to submit a paper copy to the local police station – Canadian citizenship is required for this check)
  • Live in Chilliwack or be willing to come to Chilliwack to participate in events
