Peer Social Club
Our services allow for clients to remain living at home, but The PEER Program is designed to get them out of the house!
This program is designed BY those 60 and over FOR those over 60 and adults with disabilities. It is intended to focus on engaging clients who want to connect with one another to share common experiences within the community and enjoy meaningful and social or volunteer opportunities together.
Imagine having a theme party, yes you are young enough to enjoy going to space, or crawling through the darkest cave and see the living creatures up close. Well some imagination required. But the Peer program is just that, participants use their imagination to decide what activity to do in the following months. Would you enjoy a euchre tournament, or have some music and games. The possibilities are endless.
If helping at such an event is something you may enjoy, we are offering opportunities throughout the county at different locations and times. I hope to meet you there.
Please contact the Volunteer Coordinator.

Big Bunch Mentors are adult volunteers of good character who share 3 hours every two weeks from October to June within a group mentoring program for children and youth. The Big Bunch program provides girls and boys a mentoring experience in a group setting. This program pairs 2 to 3 mentees from the Big Brother Big Sister waiting list with one mentor. Through regular outings organized by the agency, a relationship is developed between the mentor and mentee as well as between mentees. The program promotes healthy socialization and new experiences for both the mentor and mentee.
Volunteers are needed as mentors to children in our community. There are a number of children waiting for the special friendship and positive role model that a mentor offers. Volunteers are required to be a Big Brother, a Big Sister, a Big Bunch Mentor a Couple Match or an In-School Mentor.
Big Brother Mentors are men of good character, who share three to four hours a week in a mutually enjoyable activity with a boy aged 5 to 18 years who could benefit from a positive male influence and friendship. Outing times are flexible each week which appeals to many different men whose free time varies each week. Planning Outings is easy because you share your interests with a boy. Great care is taken in matching Big and Little Brothers to ensure that they are compatible and share common interests.
