Other Volunteer Opportunies
The support of our volunteers makes a big difference in the lives of those we serve. If you are interested in volunteering for the Childcare team or the Food team, please contact us.
Children’s Program
As a Circles® childcare volunteer you get an opportunity to help participating children build positive, safe relationships across social and economic lines. Our volunteers help to plan and deliver programming that includes games, activities and crafts. The children are from both the allies’ and leaders’ families. There is also the option to join us for dinner with the whole Circles® community.
To find out more, please contact us. Childcare volunteers often build lasting relationships with the children and their families, and are valued and respected members of our Circles® Team.
Food Teams
Our food teams prepare and serve meals to our Circles community. This shift runs from 4:00pm to 7:00pm on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Wednesdays of each month from September to June.
Food teams include from 3-5 members, with one lead volunteer who is the contact person for the program coordinator. The lead, in collaboration with the other members, decides on a menu from donated, ready-to-eat food donated by Gravenhurst Against Poverty. The team can use the kitchen facilities at the Circles site to heat and prepare the meal.
Members of the food teams often join the us for our meal and are valued and respected members of the Circles Community.
