SHIP volunteers are respected and appreciated as essential partners who provide a positive influence in the lives of individuals with mental illness.

There are a wide variety of ways individuals and groups can make a lasting contribution to the SHIP community:

1. Team up SHIP - for community and corporate groups who wish to contribute time or funds
2. SHIP KALEIDOSCOPE - a volunteer pool screened and ready for activities/projects on a call-in basis. Students are welcome.

Individuals/groups wishing to be matched with clients looking for companionship and increased opportunities to interact in community activities can participate in a Volunteer Circle, as a Driver, or as a P.A.L. (Peer Assisted Leisure) volunteer.

Share your knowledge and enthusiasm in the areas of computers, photography, gardening, cooking, and walking, or become a Social Recreation Co-Ordinator.

Volunteers who would prefer to work in the areas of administrative or project work can assist with office support, fundraising, and research.

Decorators and do-it-yourselfers are encouraged to assist our clients with home decorating and home repairs. We also appreciate those willing to help with snow removal, lawn maintenance.

More detailed descriptions are available upon request. For further information, contact Etty Groves by email: etty.groves@shipshey.ca.
