Pre-employment Volunteer Placement Program
Through this program participants are matched with a volunteer position that best suits their skills, abilities and goals. The purpose of the program is to provide opportunities to gain skills and experience for future employment while boosting self-esteem through volunteering. Participants gain a clearer picture of themselves and what they have to offer the community and work toward achieving personal goals. Contact your DCS worker for more information.
