Volunteer with the Jeffery Hale Community Partners
Become a Young & Empowered Ambassador! This project aims to empower and involve young English-speaking adults from the Capitale-Nationale (Greater Québec City) region. We would like your input in this program to decide on relevant activities for young adults and help bring them to life. This is a volunteer opportunity, and as a thank you, each Ambassador participating in this opportunity will get a $150 gift card.
Volunteers bring compassion, joy, and a strong sense of community to seniors, families, youth, and individuals with special needs. Volunteers help improve access to essential services and break isolation for some of the most vulnerable members of our community. Please note that most of our volunteer opportunities are during regular business hours (weekdays, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.) due to the nature of the task and the needs of the clients who we assist. If you would like to help with community-led activities, Grocery Shopping & Errands and Friendly Visits, however, you can do so evenings and weekends if you prefer.
Contact the WE Volunteer Coordinator, Elise Holloway, by email or phone at 418-684-5333, ext. 11948 to find out more about our volunteering opportunities.

Whether you’re a student, parent, or community member, your time and energy can make a big difference by promoting bilingualism and creating fun, accessible programs for French Second Language (FSL) learners. Volunteering is flexible, rewarding, and a great way to gain experience while supporting an important cause.
Volunteer with the Morrin Centre
Over the years, the Morrin Centre team have successfully completed many projects thanks to the assistance, dedication, and know-how of their volunteers. New and recurring activities offer volunteers the opportunity to develop their passions and to meet members of the community. Your involvement as a volunteer can vary, ranging from helping with a single “one-off” event, to a recurring task that supports their regular activities, to a specific project.
