Volunteer

Volunteering is an opportunity to have fun, meet new friends, learn new skills and put existing ones to good use. It's also a chance to be part of a team that makes a difference in the lives of many people in our homes. Volunteers are essential to providing residents with personal interactions and opportunities to alleviate loneliness, helplessness and boredom. Jubilee Residences works with youth and adult volunteers as well as partner schools.

As a volunteer, you chose the amount of your time commitment to the Jubilee Residences Foundation. Donating your time allows proceeds from fundraising activities to go directly toward equipment, projects and programs at our lodges.
 

Help organize a special event, donate time on event day, sell event or raffle tickets, deliver newsletters, help with administrative work or sit on a project committee. Donating time adds up to real dollars - dollars we spend directly on new equipment as well as programs and projects to enhance resident quality of life
 

If you’re thinking of volunteering, talk to us. We have a choice of events and programs that could use your special skills … and many different levels of time commitment.

Criminal Records Check

Volunteers 18 years of age and older are required to complete a criminal records check. We understand the sensitive nature of a criminal record check and treat all obtained information with the utmost confidentiality. A criminal record check helps us evaluate the eligibility of potential volunteers, ensuring that those who interact with our community demonstrates a safe and welcoming environment for all. It provides peace of mind to families, knowing that their loved ones are in a secure and caring environment.
