Baycrest Volunteer Handbook

Our commitment to volunteers
Volunteers are welcomed and treated as valuable and integral
members of the organization's human resources.
Volunteer Services will provide a quality experience for its
volunteers while benefiting the clients we serve. Volunteer
assignments address the purpose of the organization and involve
volunteers in meaningful ways — reflecting their various
skills,
abilities,
needs and backgrounds.
Volunteer Services will provide Baycrest volunteers with
meaningful, interesting, creative and challenging volunteer
opportunities.
Volunteer Services will provide guidelines and the knowledge to
work collaboratively with staff and fellow volunteers to meet the
needs of our clients with an understanding of Baycrest's culture of
safety.
We are pleased to acknowledge
the contributions of volunteers in
many
ways including learning opportunities and a yearly Volunteer
Appreciation Week. Baycrest looks forward to honouring its
volunteers and recognizing their length of service and
commitment.
The Youth Volunteer Program
Baycrest is committed to
offering all youth volunteers
the opportunity to
experience the world of
healthcare, learn about
working with our elders in
many ca
pacities and develop
meaningful
relationships
with clients, staff and other
volunteers.
