Volunteer Application

Thank you for your interest in The Good Companions’ Volunteer Services Program. Screening volunteer applicants helps us protect our clients, volunteers, members and staff. The screening process also makes it easier to match successful applicants to the right position. We want your volunteer effort to be a truly rewarding experience. Below, the screening process is briefly outlined.  Please note that additional screening may apply for certain positions.

Application

Please complete the volunteer application located below. If your application is selected, you will be contacted to set-up an interview. Interviews are conducted Monday-Friday between 9am-3pm.

Alternatively, you can print an application form and return it to the centre at your convenience.

References

It would be greatly appreciated if you could bring the names and phone numbers of your references to the interview. Depending on the position, you will need a maximum of 3 references. Only 1 reference may be related to you.

Police/Criminal Records Check

For our organization, Criminal and/or Police Records Checks are only valid if they have been processed within the last 30 days. Only original copies will be accepted for verification. No photocopies are made and originals are returned immediately to all applicants. Depending on the position applied for, the type of background check that is required will vary. During the interview the Volunteer Services Coordinator will provide a Volunteer Letter that applicants will bring to their local police station (along with two pieces of I.D.) in order to waive the processing fee.

I look forward to receiving your application, and hope you have a wonderful day!

Sincerely,

Volunteer Services Coordinator
