Volunteer Opportunities - Chai Lifeline Canada

Volunteer training through workshops and training sessions introduce new volunteers to Chai Lifeline Canada’s goals, practice, policies and philosophy.

With many opportunities available, Chai Lifeline Canada has something to suit everyone’s preferences and style:

Big Sibling Program: Unique opportunity to be matched one on one with a child suffering from illness, or their sibling. Big Siblings spend an average of an hour a week with their little siblings, taking them on special outings or hanging out with them in their homes.
Hospital Visits: Brighten the day of a child spending time in the hospital. Volunteers prepare for hospital visits by bringing a new toy, game, or fun activity to keep entertained and take the child’s mind off illness. Hospital respite shifts provide much needed relief for parents spending long hours at the hospital.
Tutoring: Tutoring is one of the supportive services we offer to help families at a time when everyday home routines are often disrupted.
Rides and Deliveries: A simple way to make a difference. We are always looking for drivers for various errands, such as giving lifts to hospital appointments or delivering homemade dinners to families (valid driver’s license required).
Family Events: Volunteers allow families to focus on enjoying time at our annual holiday events, by taking care of behind the scenes prep, carpooling, event set up, and by providing an overall positive atmosphere!
Shining Stars: Shining stars is a recreational after-school program for both clients and/or their siblings. Bussing is provided from schools to the Prosserman JCC where the kids enjoy two hours of rich programming, followed by dinner. The program occurs on Tuesdays at 4:15 pm, and runs in 6 week sessions throughout the school year.
