The Crisis Centre is thrilled to be participating in National Volunteer Appreciation Week from April 6-12, 2014. More than 450 volunteers provide their time, skills, and expertise to the Crisis Centre to provide our Distress Services and Community Education Programs.
Not only do volunteers donate 100% of their time, they undergo vigorous training programs to ensure the services we provide are of the highest caliber. They start every shift with warm hearts and big smiles, ready to support British Columbians through a time of emotional distress or educate youth and community members on mental wellness.
In 2013, our volunteers donated more than 64,000 hours, an approximate donated value of $1.2 million. It is safe to say, without the support of our incredible volunteers, we would not have the resources to provide a 24-hour service, 365 days of the year. THANK YOU to all of our amazing volunteers! We look forward to celebrating your successes at our Volunteer Appreciation Night later this month.
