Mary Centre is looking for a volunteer to be a reading/writing tutor to an adult male with a developmental disability. The volunteer would be responsible for visiting with the individual 1-2 times per week to help him develop his literacy skills.

We are looking for a volunteer who has great communication skills, is friendly, outgoing, and patient. Experience with developmental disabilities is beneficial, but not a requirement.

Mary Centre provides all mandatory trainings, both online and in person. These include:
-Orientation to Mary Centre
-Individual specific training
-Mission & Value statement
-Statement on Catholicism
-Individuals Rights
-Education & Awareness on Abuse Prevention and Reporting for Individuals
-Safe Driving (for volunteers who drive an individual in their vehicle)
-Protecting the Vulnerable
-Violence in the Workplace

Mary Centre highly recommends First Aid/CPR and Understanding and Managing Aggressive Behviour (UMAB). * A current Vulnerable Sector Search (within 6 months) is required*

Mary Centre location is fully accessible, however the volunteer and individual may choose to meet in the community, and Mary Centre cannot guarantee the accessibility of these locations.
