Note:No group facilitators or reflection sessions during spring and summer terms
While our weekly Community Volunteer Circles (CVC) groups are on pause for the spring and summer, we still need individual volunteers to support ongoing programs. CVC will resume its weekly group sessions in the fall, offering opportunities to engage with agencies throughout Hamilton.
To signup, apply directly to the agency as an individual volunteer using the contact information provided. Please note that you will need to allow an additional 30-40 minutes before and after the group times for travelling to and from the placement.
