Students 12 and up are encouraged to volunteer at Cassellholme to complete your high school community hours. Events and activities happen after school, or on evenings and weekends. It's interesting, rewarding and fun volunteer work, with many programs geared towards students. You'll be well-supported by Cassellholme professionals and welcomed by our Residents! 

If you have time to give, your contribution to seniors in your community is greatly needed and appreciated. Who knows, you might even find career ideas.

Cassellholme supports many placement and cooperative education programs. We provide a meaningful experience that reaches the educational outcomes of many designated programs, including: 

• High school cooperative education
• PSW community hours
• Paramedic program community hours
• Activation and techniques in gerontology placement
• Recreation and leisure placements
• Social work/social service workers placements and community hours
• Ontario Works placements

Canada is experiencing an important rising trend in employer-supported volunteerism. Nationally, companies are encouraging employees to be active humanitarians in their communities.

When a company supports employee volunteerism, it sends a clear and significant message to the community that they are aware of its needs. It also fosters teamwork and pride when employees take active voluntary roles in the community. They increase staff moral and bring positive attention to their business or company.

While financial donations are always appreciated, the gift of volunteer time is equally important. We have plenty of opportunities for individuals, or groups of employees, to help seniors actively participate in recreational programming, enjoy comfortable dining experiences, or have meaningful one-on-one visits.
