Why Volunteer with Victoria Lifeline?
Stay physically active, mentally stimulated and connected to both the community and your fellow volunteers.
Research has shown that volunteering provides a variety of health benefits.
Volunteering helps lower stress levels and helps reduce high blood pressure.
Staying busy can help reduce your risk of depression and even increase life satisfaction.
Installing Lifeline helps keep you physically active and mentally stimulated.
Volunteer With Us!
Volunteering’s greatest reward is in the service to others.
What does a typical Victoria Lifeline volunteer look like?
Well, they’re a lot like you. A retired RCMP officer, a nurse, or a student looking to fill their volunteering hours or gain experience for their resume. Our volunteers come to us from different backgrounds, but they all have one thing in common! The desire to make a difference in someone else’s life.
Meet Some of Our Dedicated Volunteers
Susan Dewalt
Victoria Lifeline Volunteer
Susan actually used to work for Victoria Lifeline! Our former Operations Manager used to train and support volunteers in this very role!
Eugene Baraniuk
Victoria Lifeline Volunteer
After 34 years of financial advising, he decided to retire and do something different to keep busy. “I heard some time ago that if you want to stay youthful, you have to stay useful!”
Pat Haywood
Victoria Lifeline Volunteer
Pat worked as a nurse for 40 years before retiring. She continues to give back to her community by volunteering.
What should you expect when you volunteer with us?
- We offer flexible daytime hours during the week.
- Access to a full-time Volunteer Coordinator who oversees training and ongoing support. The Coordinator works with you to schedule shifts that match your availability.
- Comprehensive peer support by our most experienced Home Service Representatives. New volunteers go on a ‘ride-along’ with our veteran volunteers to understand what their role will be before getting started.
- Mileage and parking expenses are reimbursed – you must have a car and a valid driver’s license.
- Recognition Events – We appreciate our volunteers so much we like to thank them as much as possible!
Helping us helps seniors age in place and helps our healthcare system
As a community service of the Victoria General Hospital Foundation, all proceeds from Victoria Lifeline are used to support patient care. Over the last ten years, Victoria Lifeline has raised $7.2 million dollars for the Foundation. What an incredible contribution, made possible in part by our amazing volunteers.
