Volunteer Testimonials
-
— Sharon, Volunteer, and Previous Board Member
“In 12 years I've met and worked with a number of staff - all very committed to seniors and nonprofits. My favourite volunteer position at the South Granville Seniors Centre has been writing a column for the monthly newsletter. My column is called Did You Know and I'm given latitude to write what I please. I would encourage folks to think about what brings them joy and go looking for a place to volunteer at South Granville. It's neat to get out of your head and help.”

-Naveena, Volunteer Receptionist
“I joined the South Granville Seniors Centre in 2004 and worked as a dishwasher for the Wednesday group, then I moved to the reception job. I was born in Fiji Islands, moved to Vancouver in 1970. It was a big adjustment for me [and] apart from speaking English I speak Hindi. I enjoy working at South Granville Seniors Centre and I would like to thank Ms. Danna, Ms. Gina and our new staff Ms. Linda. They all are very accommodating and welcoming. South Granville Seniors Centre has very good programs and activities for the Seniors to come and attend and enjoy.”

— Renata, Volunteer Receptionist

"Volunteering at the South Granville Senior Centre has been nothing short of rewarding. The opportunity to engage with and support the seniors has not only allowed me to serve the community but also to learn valuable lessons from their wisdom and stories"
