Volunteer Opportunity

The ideal PAL would enjoy spending time outdoors, chatting about big ideas, or just hanging out in a relaxed, informal way. Whether it’s going for a bike ride, enjoying music, a friendly game on the court or simply sharing quiet moments, your presence and mentorship could mean a lot.

PALS stands for Partnership through Activities, Learning, and Sharing. It’s a one‑to‑one volunteer opportunity designed to build meaningful connections between the people supported by St.Amant and volunteers. Rooted in shared interests, the program promotes friendship, inclusion, and mutual joy through recreational and social activities.

Willing to do puzzles and explore technology.

Volunteer Manitoba is located on the original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Anisininew, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation. We acknowledge that the clean water we drink comes from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, and that our electricity is produced on treaty territory. Volunteer Manitoba respects the Treaties that were made on these territories, we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and we dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
