Meet new people, make connections and work as part of the team.
You are assigned to work in a team of 2-3 volunteers led by a Case Manager.
Volunteers help set up the house a couple of days before the family arrive.
On Arrival Day your team welcomes them to Hamilton and orientates them to the kitchen and explains important information about the house & property.
In the first few weeks, volunteers help with everyday tasks such as where to shop, showing them how to catch a bus, enrolling children in school, taking them to the doctor, etc.
