Volunteering

Volunteers at the BCCPD are indispensable in our day-to-day operations. They answer phones, provide office support, coordinate and participate in mailouts, make deliveries, proofread our publications and record them on tape for people with visual impairments, represent us at information fairs and conferences and assist in fundraising activities.

In most cases, we need volunteers who can commit to a fixed schedule on a weekly basis or monthly basis.  For example, a receptionist who can volunteer every Monday from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm or a mailout team member for Transition Magazine who can come in 4 times a year for 4 to 6 hours each time.

When recruiting volunteers, priority will be given to people with disabilities. Training will be provided and all volunteers have a 3-month trial period. This allows us and the volunteer to see if we are a good “fit.”

The Mary Williams Memorial Core Volunteer Fund

This Fund was established in memory of one of the founders of BCCPD, Mary Williams. Mary contributed to BCCPD in many ways over her 25 years with the organization. And she saw our volunteers as the heart of our organization.
