TRAINING FOR VOLUNTEERS
 
The Cancer Society welcomes volunteers with any amount of time to give to join us for volunteer orientation.  The orientation session is an opportunity to learn new skills, gain experience, make new friends and have fun.  We provide orientation to help prepare our volunteers for the role they will play within the Society and volunteer team.  Personal interests and skills are taken into account when we undertake the process of selecting your role with you.
 
Thereafter, Cancer Society volunteers are provided with opportunities to participate in ongoing training programmes.  We really try to make sure that everyone who volunteers for the Cancer Society has the skills and training they need to ensure a positive experience.  We also aim to ensure that the time, energy and skills you provide represents a real benefit to the community and is satisfying for you.
