Volunteering

Volunteers are community members who choose to share their time to enrich the lives of vulnerable children and youth receiving services from the Society. Every year, dozens of Hastings County residents volunteer at Hastings Children’s Aid Society to support children, youth and their families. Some offer skills that can be used in working directly with children and youth, others offer their expertise to provide leadership and guidance as a member of our Board of Directors or sitting on a committee while some drive children and adults to locations where they receive essential services.

What volunteers do?

Some of the volunteer opportunities that may be available at Hastings Children’s Aid Society include:
