“Meet and Greet” Volunteer

Locations available: Ajax Headquarters and Dwyer

Located at our Welcome Centre/Front Desk, and also referred to as the “Director of First Impressions,” the “Meet and Greet” volunteer role provides a warm welcome to clients, families and visitors entering our sites. Volunteers in this role answer general questions, support wayfinding and assist with reminder calls for upcoming appointments. They may also assist in answering an overflow of incoming calls and support administrative tasks from administrative and clinical teams. 

Café Volunteer

Location available: Ajax Headquarters

Fulfilling drink and snack orders from families, visitors and staff, maintaining clean operations, ensuring inventory is stocked and operating and taking payment via a point-of-sale device. No food preparation is required as all food items available in the café will be prepackaged. Only cashless payment options will be available at the café.

Weekly shifts will be Monday through Friday: 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., or 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. It is anticipated that 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. shifts and Saturday shifts will be added in 2025 based on appointment volumes.
