Volunteers have a unique opportunity to not only to learn, but contribute to our multi-purpose facilities which include research, clinical, concurrent disorders, community work and special events. We match the skills of volunteers with the needs of our programs. Here are a few examples of how you can be involved.

Research Assistant -- Various research projects throughout the ARF site allow volunteers to use some of their skills by doing literature searches, interviews, or data coding.

Research Concurrent Disorders -- Assist in conducting structured interviews as part of pre-treatment; administer baseline computerized questionnaires.

Clinical Treatment Support -- Volunteers monitor the Assessment room and provide information necessary to clients.

Library Assistant -- Shelving and restocking books.

Withdrawal management Centre/ Social/Recreational and Life skills -- Helping prepare meals and provide social support to the clients; computer tutoring.

Special Projects and Activities -- Many programs require assistance throughout the year on a variety of projects, conferences and special events.

One to One Accompaniment -- Volunteers accompany clients to appointments (i. e. doctor's appointments).

Families and School Together Program (Peel Region) -- Volunteers provide information and facilitate family activities around substance use that are relevant to the children's age and meet the identified needs of parents.

Group Facilitator -- Volunteers help in our treatment units by supporting group sessions and facilitating group discussions.
