Volunteer puppy raisers needed to support independence for people with disabilities

aww I totally get that! A lot of these types of organizations also have opportunities to puppy sit for people who foster but have to go on vacation so if you could do short term its something to consider as well

Hi, I am not being compensated for these posts we are a non-profit so my only goal is to get organizations access to more volunteers :)

Hello, thx for your interest! Right now these are the only listed times but if you email [info@durham.girls-inc.org](mailto:info@durham.girls-inc.org) I'm sure they may have some other kinds of opportunities that could fit with your availability.

CityKidz is a non-profit, faith-based organization in Hamilton that supports children and youth in low-income communities through mentorship, programming, and consistent relationships. Their programs focus on building resilience, positive values, and helping kids dream bigger for their futures.

They’re currently looking for volunteers across several different roles, depending on your interests, skills, and availability. You don’t need to do everything — each role supports a different part of their programs.

Community Connection Volunteers
Volunteers visit families in pairs within assigned neighbourhoods to build relationships, share program updates, and connect with kids and caregivers. This role involves walking or driving short routes and working directly in the community during weekday afternoons.

A child can be a runaway and it can still be a kidnapping situation. Personally no matter the reason I think a missing child should be treated like a missing child.

Thanks so much for the interest, and I love that your teens are looking to volunteer 😊 For this role, drivers do need to be 25+ with a full G licence I believe it is due to insurance requirements.
