Recreation Volunteers Information

Interchange Outer East needs volunteers to assist children to participate fully in our many recreation programs.

Camps and days out are always packed with activities. All activities have one main object in mind - fun ! Fun for children and, just as important, fun for volunteers.

We already have a large group of wonderful, enthusiastic and committed recreation program volunteers - but with an ever increasing number of activities and children, we always need more.

AND THERES MORE ...

Because we value our volunteers' commitment one way we show our appreciation is by organising 'volunteer only' events such as special social evenings and weekend camps. We also actively encourage positive recognition of volunteer contribution.

Volunteers are encouraged to participate in training, workshops and information sessions provided by Interchange.
