Centre for Independent Living in Toronto

A Volunteer is an individual who works to help others but doesn't get paid.

Some of the most common reasons why people choose to volunteer are:

to gain work experience and learn new skills
to meet new people
to improve their English-speaking skills
to help build their self esteem; and
because they like helping others.

CILT's Volunteer Program offers a variety of volunteer opportunities to a diverse group of individuals including:

people with disabilities
newcomers to Canada; and
people from various cultural backgrounds.

Some of our volunteer opportunities include:

assisting with mass mailings
photocopying
assembling information packages; and
filing.

Please note: CILT volunteers provide clerical support to “in-house” staff ONLY. Our volunteers do not provide volunteer support within the community. If you require personal volunteer support, please contact the Volunteer Centre of Toronto at (416) 961 6888.

CILT is currently looking for volunteers to assist staff with administrative tasks, including mailings, photocopying and assembling information packages. Those interested in applying please contact Nancy at peervolunteer@cilt.ca.
