We’ll match your skills, interests and availability so that your experience as a volunteer is as rewarding for you as it is for the individuals you are supporting.
Community Living Kingston and District screens all volunteers to ensure they are a good fit prior to being accepted. Once approved, volunteers receive a thorough orientation, ongoing guidance and support. We will also reimburse any costs associated with volunteer roles.
There are a number of possibilities for you to share your time, energy and talents. We need volunteers to act as recreational partners, mentors, companions, teachers and coaches. Opportunities exist to provide assistance to people of all ages and abilities and in a number of settings.

Who are Family Home Providers?
Family Home Providers are volunteers who have chosen to open their homes and their lives to an individual with an intellectual disability. Providers are reimbursed for the expenses related to having another individual share their home.
Screening, Matching and Ensuring Ongoing Success
All potential Family Home Providers undergo a screening process. Once potential Providers are screened, further involvement becomes dependent upon finding an appropriate match.
The matching process involves exchanging information and introductions. Visits of increasing duration and frequency occur to allow ample time and opportunity to determine if the situation is right for everyone.
Each Family Home arrangement is unique. Each arrangement receives flexible resources and on-going support.
For inquiries about becoming a full-time or part-time provider please contact Kelly Agazzi, Family Home Coordinator by email or call 613.546.6613 ext. 2254.
Respite Providers are volunteers who visit individuals or invite them to into their homes. In doing this, you offer families or caregivers a break from their regular responsibilities, a chance to re-energize and an opportunity to purse their own interests. At the same time, connecting with someone who is learning through the new experiences you provide.
