Regional Psychiatric Centre: Person-To-Person Volunteers

Regional Psychiatric Centre, 2520 Central Ave., Saskatoon, SK, S7K 3X5 [map]
2-4 hours / monthly
We appreciate a one year committment
The Micah Mission is a non-profit, grassroots organization in Saskatoon working with those who are federally incarcerated as well as coming out of incarceration. We are looking to add volunteers to our Person-to-Person (P2P) program. P2P is a program that matches interested patients with trained community volunteers - often patients in the program do not have any other visitors. Volunteers visit with an assigned patient two hours per month. The times are flexible and all training is provided. The experience is both rewarding to the patient as well as to the volunteer. If you are interested, please contact Aysha Aziz- reintegration@themicahmission.org.
Additional Details & Skills Required
We will walk you through the entire process.  If you are applying for a different country (eg. International Student) a police clearance from your country of origin is required.
Certification or Education Required
High School, some college or university would be an asset
Why should you volunteer for this opportunity?
Volunteers have an opportunity to make an active difference in the life of someone who otherwise would not have any companionship. Volunteers often report that they have learned a lot from the experience. Volunteer training provides an opportunity to meet with other volunteers and make new friends.
