Community & Volunteer ServicesVolunteer Opportunities

JBCP has a long history of community participation, and offers a wide variety of volunteer opportunities. The wonderful thing about volunteering is that it is a two way street - the volunteer provides a service, friendship, skills, and in return gains new knowledge, friends, experience and better connections in the community.

Why not volunteer a few hours a month to serve your community, keep your mind and body active and healthy, meet new people and have fun! Contact Volunteer Coordinator Catriona Campbell at 250.388.7844 to enquire about volunteer options such as the following:

• The Community Closet, our Thrift Store• The JBCP Community Library• Direct Services such as driving seniors to appointments, friendly visiting• Preparing Income Tax returns for low income residents• Assisting in our Family Programs or Seniors Connections Program• Offering a health related workshop or groups such as meditation or yoga• Cooking soups, muffi ns or preparing snacks for our programs• Sorting and bagging bread and other foods for our Food Cupboard• Providing childcare• Teaching computer skills• Helping care for our gardens, or with handyman projects• Serving on our Board of Directors• Helping with fundraising or special events
