Our Philosophy of Volunteer Involvement
The achievement of the goals of this organization is best served by the active participation of members of our community. To this end, South Vancouver Neighbourhood House (SVNH) and The Seniors Hub accepts and encourages the involvement of volunteers at all levels of the agency and within all appropriate programs and activities. The Seniors Hub services offer direct programs which are designed to encourage, empower, and to improve the quality of life for seniors.
