Volunteering has many great benefits for the volunteer. Volunteers benefit by:

• Developing new skills
• On-the-job experience
• Meeting new friends
• Being involved in the community
• Becoming a member of the St. Christopher House information listserve, so that you will always be informed about what is happening at St. Chris
• Attending netwroking and social gatherings throughout the year - check the Volunteer Events section of the website for details
• Receiving a personalized reference letter after six months of volunteering (some exceptions may apply)
• Having fun!

Periodically, we provide ongoing training workshops to our volunteers so that they can succeed in their volunteer positions as well as learn new skills that will benefit their professional and personal growth. Workshops for 2009 will be announced soon. Keep checking this website for details.
