Volunteer

Volunteering at Rapport is critical to our success, from the dedicated committment of our volunteer Board of Directors and sub-committees, to the unique and meaningful opportunities provided to volunteers in various programs and events at Rapport. Following are some ways that we involve volunteers at Rapport:

Board of Directors

Current board standing committees are: Executive, Human Resources, Finance, Fund Development & Communications, and Nominating.

ECLYPSE Youth Resource Centre

The ECLYPSE youth resource centre is a collaboration of various youth serving agencies in Peel Region under the leadership and management of Rapport. The program welcomes Brampton area youth aged 12 to 24 years old, with a focus on providing direct services and community resources information to youth who have difficulty accessing services through the more traditional approaches in the social services, education, employment and health sectors. It seeks to provide a healthy, non-threatening environment for troubled youth to socialize, learn and participate in constructive and growth-enhancing activities. Volunteer opportunities exist at the centre and information may be obtained by contacting the program.
