Baptcare’s volunteers share a common trait: the commitment to supporting a stranger in need.
Our volunteers come from all walks of life and include retirees, students seeking work experience, part-time workers, stay at home parents and highly skilled professionals.
As a volunteer, you are empowered to use your skills in various capacities including visiting clients who live in isolation, designing and implementing fundraising initiatives, supporting craft and art groups at our residential sites, home visits, assisting with transport, administration duties and spending time with individuals who are in search of friendship.
Baptcare is looking for passionate and caring volunteers for the following programs:
