Junior Volunteer Position
Remote/Micro Volunteering- Suitable for Groups
- Suitable for Youth
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.
Volunteer Duties
Assist in public areas (porter residents to the door of the room) of the care home with direct supervision (either a GS staff or volunteer).
Requirements
