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. â€‹

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with People For a Healthy Community!

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT

Scot Kissinger

SUSO Van Driver

Scot helps our Stepping Up, Stepping Out (SUSO) participants get to and from the Rollo Centre every Monday. If you see the PHC ‘On the Road to Wellness’ van out and about on a Monday, give him a wave! Scot has been volunteering with PHC since November of 2023 and has been given the seal of approval by the seniors attending our twice weekly day program. The consensus? He’s a super friendly, caring and positive individual and we couldn’t agree more. After seeing gaps in the care of seniors as his mother aged, Scot took the opportunity to give back and do what he can to help fill those gaps. Thank you, Scot, for the work you do and for being one of the many volunteers on Gabriola that keep this community going.

In 1998 People for a Healthy Community on Gabriola Society became a registered charity and has remained Gabriola Island's only social service agency.
