I hope that by now we’ve pretty much decided on how to spend the summer. Some of us will be working, some travelling, some just hanging out and seeing their friends, and some going to summer school (sadly, I am one of those people). But if you still have no idea, have no fear! There are plenty of volunteer opportunities that will present themselves throughout summer.
FIRST: Spread the love!
The Children’s Cottage Society provides support for parents who are going through hardships and are not able to take care of their children. Volunteers are needed to help with various different tasks taking care of children. Volunteers will be needed for three hour shifts on weekends.
If you are interested, contact Paula Bannerman (Manager Volunteer Programs)

SECOND: Play some tunes!
Do you enjoy playing the piano? Here is a way for others to see your talent and for you to create a pleasant environment in the hospital. Volunteers are needed on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday at 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. Volunteers should be at a minimum level of grade 8 in piano.
If you are interested, contact Volunteer Resources at Peter Lougheed Hospital at 403-943-4760.

THIRD: Join the fight against cancer!
Are you interested in serving as a volunteer marketing coordinator? This is a great opportunity for youth to be involved in helping out to host a various number of events. Volunteering schedules will be flexible. Take part in a great team working towards success and increasing donations towards one of the biggest causes!
