Volunteer Campbell River Stories

Working with the Volunteer Centre in 2011 we had 89 volunteers that went through our training and completed a criminal record check free of charge.  With those 89 volunteer tutors, we were able to help 159 people learn how to read, write, speak English or use a computer.  Most of our referrals come from the Volunteer Centre as it is a base in the community where people go to find out about volunteering.  Volunteers are what makes non-profit organizations a success.  The amount of in-kind donations for their time was equal to $91,400.00.

~Julina Spetch, ESL Settlement Assistant Program Coordinator, Campbell River Literacy


The John Howard Society of North Island’s Campbell River KidStart Mentoring Program connected 35 vulnerable children and youth with caring adult volunteer mentors in 2011.  Through role modelling and encouraging kids to participate in activities that build their confidence, volunteer mentors help them become more resilient and successful in the face of the numerous challenges in their lives.  The JHSNI KidStart Team are extremely grateful to the Campbell River Volunteer Society for all of the hard work and dedication they have demonstrated in finding volunteers for us.  Typically, more than 2/3 of the KidStart volunteers are recruited via the Volunteer Centre, and with their assistance, dozens of at-risk kids can continue to get the help they so desperately need.

~In gratitude, Tara Jordan, CR KidStart Mentoring Program Coordinator, JHSNI
