Volunteer in the Community
We have a range of volunteer roles at PHC and work with a variety of demographics on the island. From seniors luncheons and day programs to gardening to sorting food recovery from Nesters to serving on our Board of Directors to making a hot lunch for the elementary school kids, there is a little bit of something for everyone. Days of the week vary depending on the program you volunteer in but typically, all volunteer roles are available during business hours on weekdays. Check out a few examples of volunteer positions further down the page. ​
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with People For a Healthy Community!

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT
Roger Christie
Board of Directors Member
Roger Christie has been a member of our Board of Directors for about five years and no doubt you’ll have seen him at the Saturday market, hanging PHC posters throughout the village, or recognize him from his time with Gabriola’s Roxy Theatre. Roger says: “Having served for many years developing and managing all manner of medical, mental health, and human service disciplines and arts/music programs, I can only say, Gabriolans can be very proud of PHC services and people.” Roger is a true believer in the power of neighbours helping neighbours and is always more than happy to talk to community members about the programming we offer and their benefits to our community.
