Volunteer with the Rehabilitation Centre for Children
The Rehabilitation Centre for Children is very fortunate to have the support of many committed volunteers who give generously of their time and expertise. Volunteers have helped out in virtually every department at the Centre; from helping visitors find departments within the Centre to compiling symbols for the Augmentative and Alternative Communication program, volunteers are an invaluable resource for the Centre.

Here are some examples of volunteer opportunities at our centre:

In the Outpatient Clinics, volunteers escort children and family members to and from other departments within the Centre and help carry equipment.

The AAC Program has received tremendous support from volunteers over the years, both individuals and groups such as students from Winnipeg School Divisions, who help with many activities, ranging from copying and assembling communication symbols, to cataloguing symbols and creating symbol libraries.

Individuals interested in pursuing a career in Prosthetics and Orthotics have spent time with the Department gathering experience.

For many years, clients from Network South have provided support to the Administrative Support Team, assisting with a range of office tasks.

Volunteers have provided support to the Take-Out-Toy-Service, helping families choose specialized toys for their children with disabilities.

Students who are interested in pursuing a career in Occupational Therapy or Physiotherapy have spent time job shadowing our outreach therapists in the community and school settings.


Thank You to the many committed volunteers at the Rehabilitation Centre for Children!
