Sandgate Women’s Shelter of York Region, Sutton West, Ontario
This grant supports a part-time volunteer coordinator to expand the shelter’s volunteer base and recruitment strategy. The coordinator will work to engage volunteers who reflect the diversity and needs of the women and children served by the shelter. The overall goal is to provide more opportunities to empower women in the community to support women and children who are rebuilding their lives after violence. Volunteers will be recruited to support programs within the shelter and in the community, and to serve as co-facilitators. The project will also update training and policies for volunteers, as well as information to ensure safety and confidentiality for volunteers, staff, and clients.
Grant amount: $23,000
