VOLUNTEER APPLICATIONS ARE NOT BEING ACCEPTED UNTIL EARLY 2021. This is due to limitations around role placement associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. We will update our message when recruitment is reactivated.
Engaging the broader community around us is an integral part of protecting children and strengthening family life. Our volunteers play an important role in
CAS's services and provide a vital link between the CAS and the
communities we serve.
Approximately 150 volunteers are partnered with staff, foster caregivers, families, children and youth. They represent diverse cultural, racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds. They fill many roles within our organization to help support our Vision and Mission.
We work cooperatively to match volunteer needs and interests with the needs of our children, youth and families. CASLM volunteers:
- are considered valuable members of CASLM and experience volunteering as members of a diverse team.
- have opportunities which promote satisfaction from helping children in need and giving something back to the community.
- have their skills matched with available volunteer opportunities.
- increase skills and experience through a variety of volunteer placements.
- receive a clear description of the expectations and the needs of CASLM, particularly in relation to assignments.
- are connected with Supervisors
and workers for the necessary contact, support and supervision to
enable them to work effectively as part of the team.
- attend ongoing training in order to improve your knowledge and skills. Volunteers will be provided with an orientation package.
- are provided with a letter of reference from CASLM that may assist in achieving various education or employment goals.
