VOLUNTEER YOUR TIME
Our volunteers are a group of people who provide and invaluable service to our community and to survivors of sexual violence in South East New Brunswick. We are a trans-inclusive organization and welcome any trans women, genderqueer women, and non-binary people*. Involvement with the Jade Centre gives volunteers the opportunity to gain experience, knowledge and skills in many areas, including crisis intervention, advocacy, non-profit organizations and a variety of issues related to sexual violence.
Our volunteers take between 4-6 shifts a month, during which they are on-call. When requested, they accompany those who have been sexually assaulted to the hospital. Our volunteers are actively involved in different aspects of Centre work (i.e. public speaking, advocacy, fundraising, etc) and are expected to attend the monthly meetings.
*those who identify as men and are interested in volunteering are still encouraged to reach out
