Orientation Session
You are invited to attend an orientation session even if you are unsure whether volunteering with us is the right fit for you. This is a mutual decision between CoSA SSk and you only after the orientation.

You will make a difference in the life of a person who is trying to change and become a contributing member in our community in a safe and positive way.

You will learn about those who are on the margins of our community, about yourself, about what our community has to offer, and about gaps in service which need addressing.

CoSA South Saskatchewan is always looking for volunteers who are interested in making a difference in people’s lives. In the process, you will also make a difference in your own life.
