Preferred Qualifications
Specific Tasks / Responsibilities
Virtual CoSA volunteers will attend weekly virtual meetings (about 1 hour per week) to create a circle of support and accountability. This involves role-modelling pro-social behaviour, active listening, helping the individual access appropriate resources, celebrating all the successes during the reintegration period, and creating an environment of trust where the Core Member is equipped to make healthy choices and live out their commitment to a non-offending future. Experience in this field is not required, but volunteers should be interested in learning more about the criminal justice system and related topics. Orientation will be provided through a virtual platform.
Volunteer Outcomes
For people with disabilities or those with busy schedules, there’s no travel involved. All you need is a device, a headset and high-speed Internet.
Volunteering with Circles of Support and Accountability allows members of society to participate in ensuring the safety of their community. Personal growth, as well as extended learning and discovery, is an integral part of volunteering in a Circle.
