Profile
Our Bosco Homes Volunteer Services Program is headed by an appointed Volunteer
Coordinator. This coordinator recruits, supervises and helps evaluate
volunteers. Volunteers come to us from the community at large, or via Volunteer
Action Centres, educational institutions and staff acquaintances. Volunteers
who express interest in Bosco Homes are community-minded people interested in,
and enthusiastic about, sharing their time and skills with the children in our
care. They play an integral part in helping us heal and re-educate children and
families accessing our services.
