Volunteers are the backbone of our team putting in untold hours of work to ensure that food, support, care and friendship are available to all who come in contact.
For the youth at risk our volunteers run camps and sailing expeditions and in school programs for YaFT clients, teach drama and life skills for the kids in FRESH Youth Theatre or serve breakfast to the hungry at school.
For the adults at risk its food and shelter for the homeless in the care of our Winter Shelter team, life skills in a strange new country for our refugees and friendship and a place to belong for the socially isolated in The Brink.
