WHO WE ARE:

The Miramichi Volunteer Service is a non-profit agency and provides the following service to the community:

Promotion of Volunteerism
Volunteerism is promoted in the community through use of the media, presentations to groups, workshops, National Volunteer Week and volunteer recognition events.

Resource Services
Maintain a list of private caregivers available to Seniors and/or families with special needs.

Some potential volunteer opportunities on the Miramichi are:

  • Preparing basic income tax returns

PLEASE REMEMBER:
 
Be realistic about how much time you can give. 

Give your volunteer work a fair trial but if after several times you find it is not for you try something else!!!
You should enjoy your volunteer experience!
