FASSY has an Out and About in the Yukon Program that provides a monthly calendar of events for folks who are neurodiverse. The events and activities change each month depending on what else is taking place in and around Whitehorse. This program is facilitated and organized by our amazing coordinator and supported by a few part-time employees. We are seeking volunteers who would be able to assist us in some of our events to ensure we can have fully supported participants. Volunteers would be able to see the Calendar in advance and sign up to help with evenings or weekend activities that fit their interests and schedule.
Kindness & Compassion
Willingness to help and learn
Be support for program participants as needed
Help with set up and take down of events that are held at the FASSY office
Go with participants so they are truly included in community
This is a very flexible commitment in that we could have people volunteer occasionally or multiple times per month depending on their availability. The tasks will depend on what is scheduled for the month and can be coordinated with our staff.
Depending on the event (Movies, Laser tag, drive to the free store as an example), volunteers will get to participate along with those the program is geared towards. Volunteers will also get to spend time with some amazing community members who are often misunderstood. We will provide support and training to anyone coming on to help and do have some thank you gifts for folks as well!
