If you are a student, musician, gardener, community member or someone who has special talents to offer as our residents reconnect with favourite and familiar music, games and activities, we invite you to apply to volunteer. Our volunteers provide conversation (in Mandarin or Cantonese) for our residents, accompany residents on neighborhood walks, participate in various games, activities and exercises with our residents, and help maintain our courtyard garden.

It can take several weeks to complete the background checks and provide other required information for volunteer applicants.
