VOLUNTEER SERVICES
Volunteers are an integral part of the organization and
are involved in virtually every area across our campus.
Assignments are diverse and reflect the various skills
and talents of our volunteers and Baycrest's needs.
Approximately 2,000 volunteers aged 13 to 95 give
their time and expertise to Baycrest every year. Younger
volunteers – age 12 and under – must be accompanied by
a parent or guardian.
Volunteers attend a one-and-a-half hour orientation and
complete online learning modules at home.
Some volunteers spend time socializing with clients
while they await their appointments; others provide
eating assistance, participate in art, music, research
and recreational activities with patients and residents.
Some even participate in simulation projects that train
healthcare workers.
To become involved, email volunteer@baycrest.org
or call 416-785-2500 ext. 2572.
