We’re looking for volunteers on Wednesdays for our weekly Beauty Day, particularly hairstylists. And if you can cook, we’d love your help with lunch preparation. PEERS also has open volunteer positions for sorting donated clothing and light cleaning at our centre, and we’d love to connect with a handyperson who could tackle small repairs and fixups.
