Be A Volunteer
The heart of a volunteer is not measured in size, but by the depth of the commitment to make a difference in the lives of others.
NYSC relies on the dedication and commitment of more than 300 volunteers each year to deliver quality programs and services to seniors living in our community. There are volunteer positions ranging from administrative to friendly visiting; from helping serve lunch to sharing a talent or skill. We have many opportunities to match what you want to do. In fact, there are more than 65 ways you can make a difference in the lives of seniors by volunteering at North York Seniors Centre (NYSC). Take a peek below at some of the ways you can get involved.

Our volunteers are amazing!
