Volunteer Opportunities

Options for Clients and Alumni

Share your Rideauwood experience with our Board of Directors
Rideauwood’s Board of Directors welcomes past clients to speak at the beginning of meetings about their experience completing a Rideauwood program. While board members have their own personal connections to Rideauwood’s mission, starting their meetings by listening to someone who has been through a Rideauwood program helps to ground their discussions and decision-making in lived and living experiences. Board meetings are virtual, and we offer various levels of anonymity in accordance with the level of comfort of the guest speaker.

Contact us to volunteer.

Share your Rideauwood experience with our supporter community
Individuals and businesses give generously to help ensure Rideauwood services are available to those in need. Sharing accounts of real-life Rideauwood experiences with supporters and potential supporters helps them to see the impact of their giving, encouraging them to contribute to the work we do. Rideauwood interviews clients to collect their experiences to include in written communications. In the publication of written pieces, we offer various levels of anonymity in accordance with the level of comfort of the client.

Contact us to volunteer.

Provide feedback
Along with routine post-client surveys, we also consult with current and past clients for special projects and initiatives. The lived and living experience of clients provides valuable insight that helps to shape the work we do. We maintain a list of people we can contact for consultation as the need arises.

Contact us to add your name to the feedback list.
