Over 300 volunteers help us provide service to children, youth and families each year. Their contribution to
the work of the agency is invaluable and they provide a vital link between the agency and the community we serve.

Men and women of all ages, single and partnered, working, retired, students. Volunteers represent various racial,
cultural, and ethnic groups. Volunteers are people who choose to contribute some of their time, energy and special skills to our agency.

Agency volunteers provide a wide range of services. Some volunteers befriend, tutor, provide child care, drive, or work with families.
Volunteers may also research lifebooks/social histories or assist in fundraising and public relations, provide administrative support.
And volunteers make up our agency board of directors and Foundation board of directors. We try to fit the assignment to meet the skills,
interests and available time of each volunteer.

Call our Volunteer Services staff at (519) 576-0540, or e-mail us at Volunteer.Services@facswaterloo.org. You will be asked to come
to an interview, provide three references, complete a criminal record check, consent to an agency record check, and attend four two hour
orientation sessions. This process will help both of us decide whether volunteering some time at our agency is the right thing for you.

Once you are approved as a volunteer we will match you to an assignment that most closely relates to your interests and skills.
