| Volunteer Position Description |
Our organization has been supporting people with intellectual disabilities in their integration and social participation through its Buddy Program. This consists of forming a bond of unique friendship among volunteers (godparents) and members (godchild(s)) who wish to be accompanied and seek fulfillment in their social lives.
Sign up to become a Buddy! Through the Buddy Program, volunteers become a civic godfather/godmother and form an equal friendship with a person with an intellectual disability
The volunteer has freedom of choice of activity & location (home, exterior, events, etc.) with his/her godchild as long as they have fun together!
Find a deep and personal sense of enrichment, increased open-mindness, meet new people sharing the same energy and motivation, engage in beautiful moments of laughter and sharing, obtain a reference from the PCM, and change a life … yours! |
