Volunteer
Join the team of dedicated volunteers who make the House a home for families in need.
Powered by people who care
The Mark Preece Family House began as a volunteer-led organization, so we know first-hand the enormous contribution volunteers make. We simply couldn’t provide a “home away from home” for families in need without a team of dedicated volunteers.
We value every contribution and will make every effort to give you a rewarding opportunity that fits your skills and schedule.
What we look for
All volunteers are required to submit an application, provide two character references, and complete an interview with the Family Services and Volunteer Manager. A criminal record and judicial matters check and mandatory training are also required.
- Compassionate, warm, and caring
- Works well independently and as part of a team
- Strong communication and listening skills
- Shows initiative and attention to detail
- Respectful of confidentiality, non-judgmental, objective
- Dependable, punctual, and reliable
