Community Access Room Volunteer

The Fredericton Downtown Community Health Centre is looking for volunteers to work in the Community Access Room. The Community Access Room has laundry and showering facilities for the vulnerably housed or homeless population. It’s also a place where people can have a cup of coffee and learn about helpful community and FDCHC resources. Volunteers will work in the room for 3 hour shifts from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm on week nights doing various tasks including but not limited to helping people with their laundry, providing toiletries & clothing items upon request, helping clients access resources, or simply having conversations with clients. Ideal volunteers are kind-hearted, compassionate individuals who are good listeners. Experience working with vulnerable populations and knowledge of community resources in Fredericton are both assets but not required.
