Once we received word that we could not gain an exemption in Alberta to the requirement in the Protection for Persons in Care Act for all volunteers to have a criminal record check, GS held an ethics consult and leadership team discussion around this issue.
As of today, minors can be registered as junior helpers, as outlined in our volunteer policy suite.
This change also means school groups and kids sport or activity teams can come in for one-time events and be registered as micro-volunteers.
Thanks for your interest in this volunteer position!
We'll just need a bit of information so we can pass your application along to Good Samaritan Society - Park Meadows.
