Volunteers come to L’Arche Stratford from a wide variety of backgrounds.

Some volunteers are long-term members of a community who develop deep and meaningful connections with other members. Other volunteers may come for a season or a project.

Here are some examples of volunteer activities:

  • Serve as a volunteer board member
  • Preparing and sharing a meal in a house 
  • Activity or program support 
  • Helping at community events 
  • Driving people to/from community activities and events 
  • Maintenance or gardening 
  • One-on-one peer friendships 
  • Fundraising support 
  • Sitting on a committee 
  • Special projects 

What to expect?

Prospective volunteers will have an opportunity to share more about their interests, goals, gifts, and availability during an interview, and a match to an available volunteer opportunity will be made.

Ongoing volunteers complete a screening and yearly training process. The skills you learn as a volunteer with L’Arche Stratford can help you build your portfolio for future volunteer and employment roles!

Special projects and event support can be ideal for those looking for short-term opportunities (great for high school students completing community service hours!)
