Volunteers play an important role at Semiahmoo House Society. The increased service and support enhances the life experience of those served by our Society. Thanks to volunteers, more people have more friends, more opportunities and more happiness.
Volunteers donate their time for many reasons:
- To give something back to their community
- For enjoyment
- To gain valuable experience
- To share personal skills
Each volunteer brings a high level of commitment to his or her role and everyone benefits from that commitment.
