Client service volunteers provide support to the client and their families in many ways and are part of the total team effort that is invaluable in hospice care. An optimum environment for a person with a terminal ill ness can only be achieved if there is time to listen, to understand, and to care. This is an integral part of what a volunteer does.The role of the volunteer is to be of assistance to anyone who may need it... the client, the family, or other members of the team. They are there to provide emotional support, practical help, and companionship. They have the time tolisten, to understand, and to care for the client and others. The volunteer does not see the client every day, so they bring a certain freshness and vitality which can be a great support to the care providers who may be continuously close to their loved one who is dying.Activity examples: Going for walks, listening to music, errand running, playing crib, providing rides to appointments and much more. Time commitment: 4 hours / week. We are in particular need of volunteers who are available during the weekdays.

Results is an advocacy nonprofit that believes in mobilizing everyday people (our volunteers) to generate the political will to end extreme poverty in low-and middle-income countries. We focus our work on global health, access to quality education and economic opportunities. We direct our energy and efforts at government decision makers like party leaders, Members of Parliament and senators because they have the power to improve policies and make the monetary investments needed to end extreme poverty. We also raise awareness by writing letters to the editor (LTEs) and op-eds, using social media, fundraising and more. Oftentimes the first step is putting these issues on the radar — and keeping the pressure on. It might seem like a small step, but it all adds up into impact. commitment: 1 year minimum, 1-2 hours per week on average support structure: Volunteers (virtually) meet in local groups on a monthly basis and rely on their group leader(s) for guidance. Attending other virtual calls and webinars led by Results staff is recommended. If you’re ready to learn about advocacy, causes and solutions to extreme poverty and committed to taking action every month, join us! Use the following link to sign up to volunteer.FRANÇAIS Nous sommes un organisme de plaidoyer qui mobilise les gens du quotidien (nos bénévoles) pour générer la volonté politique pour mettre fin à l’extrême pauvreté dans les pays à faible et moyen revenu. Nous concentrons notre travail sur la santé mondiale, l’accès à une éducation de qualité et l’inclusion économique. Nous concentrons notre énergie et nos efforts à mobiliser les décideurs et décideuses politiques comme les chef.fe.s de partis, député.es, sénateurs et sénatrices, car ils et elles détiennent le pouvoir d’améliorer les politiques et de faire les investissements requis pour éradiquer l’extrême pauvreté. Nous faisons aussi de la sensibilisation en écrivant des lettres ouvertes aux journaux, en utilisant les médias sociaux, en collectant des fonds et bien plus. Souvent, la première étape est d’attirer l’attention sur ces enjeux et de les faire connaître — et de maintenir la pression. Cela peut sembler être un petit pas, mais les actions s’accumulent et ont ainsi de l’impact. engagement : 1 an minimum, 1-2 heures par semaine en moyenne structure de soutien : Les bénévoles se réunissent (virtuellement) en groupes locaux tous les mois et comptent sur leur.s leader.s de groupe pour obtenir des conseils. Il est aussi recommandé d’assister à d’autres appels virtuels et webinaires dirigés par les employées de Résultats. Vous êtes prêt.e à apprendre ce que signifie faire du plaidoyer, en apprendre plus sur les causes et solutions à l’extrême pauvreté, puis vous vous engagez à passer à l’action à chaque mois? Joignez-vous à nous! Inscrivez-vous en tant que bénévole aujourd'hui!

HUMBOLDT BRONCOS MEMORIAL FOREST Tree Planting Eventat the Clavet area "Humboldt Broncos Memorial Forest" EVENTBRITE SIGN UPJoin us in person for a special day of remembrance and community spirit as we plant trees to honor the Humboldt Broncos. Let's come together to create a living memorial in the beautiful Clavet area Forest. It's a perfect chance to connect with nature and share stories while making a lasting impact. Bring your friends and family – everyone’s welcome!🌲 Come for a moment, come for the afternoon—every helping hand makes a difference.🌱 NOTE: We’ll have tree saplings ready for planting—and we’d love your help getting them into the ground!🌲 What to Bring to the Humboldt Broncos Memorial Healing Forest Tree PlantingEvery tree, every seed, and every helping hand will contribute to creating a living legacy of remembrance, healing, and hope. If you’re joining us for the tree planting, please consider bringing:🪴 A shovel — your own garden shovel or spade will help us get more trees in the ground.🧤 Gardening gloves — protect your hands and make planting more comfortable.🧢 A hat — the planting area is open and sunny, so please come prepared for the weather.💧 Water to drink — bring a reusable water bottle and stay hydrated.🚰 Water for the trees — if you can, please bring two or three jugs of water to help give newly planted trees a good start.🌱 Tree saplings or seeds — if you have suitable tree saplings or seeds growing in your neighbourhood or on your property that you would like to contribute, please bring them along.🌾 Native grass or wildflower seeds — have some native prairie grass or native wildflower seeds? (pictures) Bring them along! They can help create habitat and add biodiversity to the Memorial Healing Forest.🌱 Make a native seed ball at home and bring a few along to help sow the seeds of a future prairie! This is how to do it --> NCC YouTube video💚 Every Contribution CountsYou don't need to bring everything—and you certainly don't need to bring anything to participate. Your presence is the most important contribution of all.Whether you arrive with a shovel, a jug of water, a handful of native seeds, a tree sapling, or simply two willing hands, you are helping transform this landscape into a living memorial.Together, we will plant more than trees.We will plant remembrance.We will plant hope.We will plant a forest for generations to come. 🌲💚🌱 A Living Classroom: Educational Opportunities at the Tree PlantingThe Humboldt Broncos Memorial Healing Forest tree planting is more than a planting day—it is an opportunity for families, students, educators, and community members to learn by doing. Every tree placed in the ground provides a starting point for conversations about biodiversity, climate action, habitat, soil, water, wildlife, Indigenous knowledge, and the responsibility we share for caring for the land.For students, the event can become an outdoor classroom where environmental concepts move from the textbook into real life. Participants can explore how trees capture carbon, provide wildlife habitat, protect soil, contribute to water management, support pollinators, and strengthen ecosystem resilience. Younger children can discover the excitement of planting and watching something living take root, while older students can explore ecological restoration, species selection, climate adaptation, biodiversity monitoring, and the role of community stewardship.The planting also provides a tangible connection to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):🌲 Learn. Plant. Remember. Grow.The Memorial Healing Forest offers something that a classroom alone cannot: the opportunity to put knowledge into action. A child planting a tree today can return years later and see that their small act has become part of a living ecosystem.Students migh ask: What species belong here? Why do we plant native trees? Where will wildlife find food and shelter? How will this forest change over time? What does a tree contribute to a community?Families can explore together. Educators can turn the landscape into a living lesson. Young people can experience conservation as something they do, rather than simply something they learn about.And everyone can leave knowing that they have contributed to something larger than themselves.This is a tree planting—but it is also an outdoor classroom, a biodiversity project, a climate-action activity, a community-building experience, and a living lesson in stewardship.Come plant a tree. Come learn something new. Come help grow a forest—and a legacy—for generations to come. 🌱🌳💚Thank you to our sponsors, and partners:
