Good day to you from the Suffield Military Family Resource Center. My position as the Volunteer Leadership Coordinator is to ensure we continue to meet your individual volunteer needs. My colleagues and I will endeavour to create new and exciting volunteer opportunities in all of the MFRC services and programs. If your skills are office based, centered around children or youth, or geared towards special events, we have opportunities to keep those skills fluid and current. Visit our links page for some great volunteer websites

The MFRC is very fortunate to have over 30 highly skilled and dedicated volunteers, without whom many of our programs would not be able to operate. Volunteers generously give of their time to assist with many of our mandated and site-specific programs. Becoming a volunteer provides an opportunity to meet members of the community, develop new skills and share your talents with others. We have a comprehensive orientation package and training available for you.

Join Our Team Today!

Please take a few moments to visit the volunteer Evaluation Page. Your feedback is important. All submissions are anonymous.

(Sourced from the Military Family Services Program 'Parameters for Practice')

"Volunteering leads to personal growth and development, and to community engagement, both of which are key MFSP goals. Opportunities exist throughout the MFSP for meaningful volunteer involvement - on Boards of Directors and Advisory Committes of Canadian/Military Family Resource Centres (C/MFRCs), at the service delivery level, and in service design and evaluation. C/MFRCs support this volunteer leadership involvement through sound volunteer principles and practices incorporated into their services, including recruitment, screening, training, orientation, evaluation and recognition. Where no suitable volunteer opportunities exist within a C/MFRC, volunteers can be referred to volunteer opportunities elsewhere in the community."
