Volunteers can make a significant contribution in the lives of homeless and at-risk youth by playing a key role in the programs and services that Eva’s Initiatives provides and reducing operational costs.
Volunteering is a great opportunity to be part of a team, share your experience and offer a helping hand. Whether you have a few hours a week or want to get a group together once a year, there are some interesting activities in which you can get involved.
Note: For volunteer placements that involve direct interaction with youth, a comprehensive screening process, including a criminal reference check, is required.
