Volunteer Resource Centre
The Glace Bay and Area Volunteer Resource Centre was established by Town House in 2014 to serve Glace Bay and surrounding areas.
What we do:
-
Help nonprofit and service organizations to find suitable volunteers;
-
Help community members find volunteer opportunities that best suit their skills, interests, and availability;
-
Assist organizations with their volunteer programs; and
-
Build awareness about volunteerism
The Volunteer Resource Centre was built on fifty years of experience of volunteers providing a wide variety of programs and services to the community through Town House.
Current volunteer opportunities:
-
Seaview Manor Nursing Home – Need volunteers for Friday mornings (to assist with mass) and Monday-Friday between 1:30-3:30pm to assist with recreational activities (e.g., bowling, concerts, etc)
-
Cape Breton Miners Museum – Need volunteers during the summer months to act as historical interpreters for their Company House and Company Store, provide information and guidance, and help people take away a small, enjoyable piece of Cape Breton’s history and culture.
-
Nova Scotia Community Health Boards – Need volunteer board members to help support health plan objectives, board plans and initiatives, and health system goals and initiatives that contribute to the health of the community.
