Baycrest Volunteer Handbook

As Baycrest volunteers, youth become part of our community.
Understanding the cultures of those who live and work here helps
youth connect and build meaningful relationships. Baycrest is
committed to providing our youth with opportunities to be involved
in a community of care and learning that encourages creativity and
personal growth.
The fall/winter program runs from Septemb
er to April. The summer
volunteer program starts in May and runs through to September.
Baycrest is pleased to offer high school students
co-operative educational placements in various areas throughout
the centre.
