Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers are an essential part of the Wing Kei team. Through a variety of activities such as helping with recreational activities and providing companionship, they help improve the quality of life of our residents. 

At Wing Kei, we pride ourselves on creating a meaningful and joyful work environment for every member of our team, including volunteers. We will work with you to determine what volunteer activities you are most interested in and to discuss the number of hours you are able to commit to volunteering at Wing Kei. We also commit to providing you with appropriate training to ensure you feel comfortable and confident.

Since 2005, over 1000 volunteers have offered their precious time and talent to support Wing Kei. Individuals, community groups and organizations offer their assistance in special events and activities, donating their time, efforts and talents. Our volunteers range from toddlers to seniors.

In 2019, 299 individual volunteers and more than 40 groups contributed approximately 26,000 hours of service. Their contribution is an important component in helping us realize our vision of preserving and improving seniors' quality of life with love.
