Ever since Momiji was founded by volunteers in 1978, volunteers have been central to our success. Each year, hundreds of volunteers generously give thousands of hours of their time. You too can make a real difference in seniors’ lives and give back to the community. Plus, you will learn about Japanese-Canadian history and culture and connect with people of diverse ages from all walks of life.
There are many volunteer opportunities at Momiji. We know that your time is a valuable gift. That’s why we work with you to find the right position for your interests, availability, experience and skills.
We have a great number of volunteer positions at Momiji. Here are some of the positions we recruit for most often. Please contact our Volunteer Coordinator for more information about these positions, or find out about other volunteer opportunities that might appeal to you.
