The Board ensures that the organization is operated in the interests of the members.
We deliver 75-120 meals, 5 days a week, and extra meals on Fridays for the weekend to people in the community that need help with meals.
A volunteer calling program where you are paired with one (1) senior (by social worker).
This is a remote volunteer opportunity with the option to meet with your senior once a month at the LSCO Community Connect Coffee Group.
Drive Happiness is looking for generous and compassionate individuals, with their own vehicle, to volunteer their time and drive seniors to appointments.
Online ride scheduler allows you to view rides and choose what ride you “pick up.”
Small gas reimbursement provided.
Our nature centre developed with a foundation of volunteer support. Volunteer Naturalists take part in all aspects of the Centre’s operations. They share their time, a valuable resource that is necessary for us to meet the needs of our community.
Most volunteers begin as Exhibit Rovers. In this role they help greet visitors as they arrive to the Centre and help them make the most of their visit.
After learning the basics as an Exhibit Rover, volunteers often help in other ways. They help as Program Assistants, Trail Rovers, or behind the scenes. Volunteer Naturalists commit to a term of at least six months and help out on a regular basis.
There are abundant opportunities at the Nature Centre and so many ways that you can get involved. No experience necessary! We provide the training and ongoing support.
We make peeling potatoes, cutting up vegetables and decorating cookies fun!
If you have a special kitchen talent, like baking, we would love you to share your skills with us. We require two (2) people each day to support our chefs in preparing meals for our community center’s dining room.
This volunteer position also supports the Meals on Wheels program.
Onsite training provided.
If you enjoy kitchen work, in a supportive team setting, consider this volunteer opportunity.
Green Acres purchased some tandem electric assisted bikes (tricycles actually) and are looking for volunteers interested in peddling our residents around. This would be weather dependent and involves all the Lethbridge lodges.
There is one bike shared at Blue Sky Lodge and Golden Acres Lodge on the 16 Ave N, one bike shared at Black Rock Terrace and Pemmican Lodge on 5 Ave S, and one bike shared between Garden View Lodge, Heritage Lodge (both downtown) and Alberta Rose Lodge on 32 St S (by Rona).
Volunteers could volunteer at a lodge in their neighbourhood or at multiple lodges across the city. We really don’t know at this time if there will be specific routes to follow.
Helmet is provided, but if the volunteer has their own helmet, they can use it.
A bit of training will be required as there are settings controlled by the driver of the bike for the resident side as the residents can peddle at their own space to exercise their legs (this setting is not helping to propel the bike), peddle and provide assistance to keep the bike moving, or not peddle at all. The driver’s side also controls how much or how little peddling the driver wants to do (how much electronic assist they want) and the braking.
The main point of these e-bikes is to get the residents out for some fresh air, get a little exercise if they choose, and most importantly, to enjoy conversation or reminiscing with the driver of the bike so the resident gets both physical and mental stimulation.
Volunteer dishwashers are needed to support the kitchen staff.
Onsite training of the industrial dishwasher will be provided.
As Bingo Caller volunteer, you will call bingo in any a Green Acres lodge.
LSCO has music Fridays in the stage area/dining room.
If you play an instrument, can sing or are in a band, we would love to have you take part in this opportunity!
Many seniors come to the dining room for Friday music.
Old songs, new songs – our centre appreciates the musical talent!
Green Acres Foundation is looking for volunteer bus drivers to drive seniors to community events. In particular, the Foundation is looking for volunteers who are available on Sunday, November 24, 2024, for an event in the evening.
Games could include crib, shuffleboard, pool, checkers, chess and more!
Must be personable and enjoy meeting new people.
