Volunteer
Ladysmith Resources Centre Association was built on volunteer participation and even today a strong volunteer spirit keeps the Centre and it's programs running. As an organization, we welcome your support and willingness to help and endeavour to fit you wherever your strengths may lie.
We have many volunteer opportunities available. If you have some spare time—be it an hour, ½ day or more—we invite you to contact us so we can work together utilizing your skills and experience in some rewarding way.
Also, the LRCA board of directors is interested in bringing aboard new members with a variety of skillsets to set direction for the organization. Give us a call at 250-245-3079 to express your interest.

It's that easy!
Our Volunteer program offers many opportunities to volunteer. As a volunteer, we are committed to making your time with us or within any of our programs or services meaningful and enjoyable. In turn, we ask that you commit to protecting and enhancing our organization through participation, confidentiality and positive and professional representation.
We want you to feel a part of the Centre and we want your experience to be not only helpful to us but to be an enriching experience for you.
This will be followed by an orientation to the association, the staff, programs, services, history, philosophy, policies and procedures. We will then provide and accompany you to an introduction to your chosen field of expertise or program you wish to participate in. Training will then take place either by the volunteer coordinators or the program personnel.
