Become a buddy to an adult with an intellectual disability

Do you want to build connections while supporting social inclusion? Parrainage Civique Montréal needs you!

Parrainage Civique Montréal offers a pairing program that creates equal friendships between volunteers, whom we call 'buddies', and our members, referred to as 'best buddies', who are adults living with intellectual disabilities and seeking support in their social participation.

Why become a buddy?

As a buddy, you commit to engaging in at least 1 activity per month with your best buddy (about 5 hours). This commitment offers great flexibility: you and your best buddy choose activities and meeting places together, whether at home, outdoors, or during events. It’s a rewarding experience that will bring you personal satisfaction, an open mind, laughter, and a new friendship!

What we offer:

· Activities you can participate in with your best buddy.
· Recognition events.
· Regular follow-ups.
· A letter of recommendation after one year of volunteering.

What we’re looking for :

· A positive and open-minded person
· Someone eager to support a person in their growth.
· Demonstrated generosity of time and a sense of sharing.

Ready to make a difference? Become a buddy and bring joy to someone's life while transforming your own!

Friendly Errands

 Ville-Marie

Seniors who are not able to leave home for various reason (reduced mobility, injury, sickness, or extreme weather such as heat waves or icy sidewalks) but are in need of items from the grocery store or pharmacy, may request help. The Program Coordinator will arrange for an on-call volunteer to meet the senior member at their door to pick up the list of items needed and cash to pay for them.

When finished shopping volunteers will return to the home of the member to deliver the groceries/medication, receipts, and any change. Volunteers are encouraged to assist with unloading groceries and large items, and often are invited by seniors to stay and chat for a little while before leaving.

The goal of this service is to: (i) alleviate feelings of dread, stress, and/or anxiety that seniors living with reduced mobility may have related to travel outside the home; and (ii) allow seniors to remain in their home by helping to meet basic needs.
