Volunteer Opportunities at Creekstone Care Center for ages 14 and up!

 



Creekstone Care Centre is a Long Term Care Home that opened in April 2021. We are located in beautiful North Vancouver in the blossoming Lower Lynn Creek area with easy access to Phibbs Exchange and the Second Narrows Bridge. Being a newer care home we are building our volunteer program and would love to incorporate intergenerational programs into our home. At the current moment due to the pandemic regulations we are allowing volunteers of the age of 14 and up to have the chance to volunteer. With that being said our volunteers require proof of vaccination. Could you please put me in contact with some of the local high schools in our area to recruit volunteers. This is an exciting opportunity to connect the community.

Volunteer to Create Joy!

Through volunteers like you, we can make it possible for seniors to do more of the things they love and feel more connected to our community. And we promise that you will discover how helping others adds meaning and joy to your life too.
