Be a Volunteer!
Join Community Living York South in building a caring community. Volunteers play a vital role in advancing Community Living York South’s mission. Our work is only possible through the support, commitment and passion of our volunteers. Your contributions will benefit individuals with intellectual disabilities and make a difference in their lives by empowering them to live, learn, work and participate in their community.

Contributions made by volunteers will benefit individuals with intellectual disabilities and make a difference in their lives by empowering them to live, learn and participate within the community. This experience will also give volunteers access to opportunities to take part in meaningful placements that develop their interests, increase personal growth and make meaningful connections.
In addition, volunteers can also expect to:
- Get volunteer hours
- Get a reference letter if applicable
- Gain experience and knowledge in community based work
