BECOME A VOLUNTEER
Volunteers contribute to Vestiaire St-Joseph and the communities we serve in a big way.
Volunteers play a key role in supporting the employees perform their duties. Volunteers are the life blood of Vestiaire St-Joseph and we are short of people just like you.
Experience and skills required
The majority of volunteer positions do not require specific training or previous experience. As a volunteer you can come and go as you please. You can take pride in knowing that you are helping us help others. Your skills and life experience as well as your commitment to our communities is greatly appreciated.
We require contact information in case of emergencies.Those working in areas such as the learning center or driving our truck may be subject to driver's abstract request or a criminal record check. A criminal record or a less than perfect driving record does not mean that you are ineligible to volunteer.
Our team is truly that. We have one common goal and we need people that will help us help others.
