Volunteers

Volunteers are people who give their time for free.
As a non-profit organisation the South East Neighbourhood Centre welcomes volunteers to be involved in many different programs and projects.

If you enjoy being busy, having fun, meeting new people, learning new skills and gaining work experience while helping others and making a difference in the community then volunteering is the answer. The Centre is happy to talk to anyone who wants to volunteer and will help you find what you are looking for.

The Centre relies on volunteers and there are a number of positions available:

The Maise Foster Award
Ms. Maisie Irene Foster was an outstanding volunteer at the South East Neighbourhood Centre and through a bequest from her estate an award in her honour was created. Every year the award is in appreciation of Ms. Foster’s commitment to the Centre and in respect to the high esteem in which she was held by the community. Maisie’s passing was a great loss to our community and she is greatly missed by all those who knew her.

The Maisie Foster Volunteer Award is dedicated to the recognition and contribution volunteers make to the South East Neighbourhood Centre and the community. SENC recognises the valuable voluntary effort of people and the award is in their honour.

To be eligible for nomination for the Maisie Foster Volunteer Award a person must be a volunteer with the South East Neighbourhood Centre.
