  3. Most of all 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.

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.

You are invited to attend an orientation session even if you are not sure whether this is for you.

This is a mutual decision between CoSA SS and you only after the orientation.
