Be a VolunteerHelp wanted:Help the Aged (Canada) is a Registered Charity Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) with a Federal Not-for-Profit Corporation Charter. We are based in Ottawa. We have a mandate to provide for support programs and projects for Older Persons within Canada and overseas. We work with a wide range of partners – governments, corporations and other NGO’s in delivery of programs and projects. Even with thirty years experience, we are a small organization now looking to build our acquired abilities and expand our reach into more communities. Given the restraint imposed by our very generous Canadian donors with regard to our “overhead” costs, we seek a cadre of experienced volunteers to work with our staff to enable further growth within our Corporate Plan. We would hope those younger “Older Persons” in our community, those who are retired and have an interest and time, would step up to the plate and help us address the needs of our peers who may perhaps not be as fortunate as ourselves. In Ottawa, we need:
for existing programs and projects as well as people able to research, develop and implement new programs and projects. Computer-user expertise within a Windows/Office environment and high-speed internet access at home is important. Within our Canadian communities we seek individuals and groups interested in or already working in the provision of support to Older Persons in need, who wish to identify with and become a part of a national organization addressing the issues of Older Persons. We already have four such groups, two in Ottawa, one in Québec City and one in Mont Laurier, Québec. As a part of a national organization, the community groups will be able to access and share information and other resources, to lessen the local “overheads” and focus more on what we all cherish – delivery of services and support. Help the Aged (Canada) (aka HTAC) uses the definition of “Older Persons” as that presented by the United Nations in their document “United Nations Principles for Older Persons”. We have a web site at http://www.helptheaged.ca which has extensive information including full exposure of our financial situation.

We are looking for volunteers to raise public awareness for our Reaching Out to Isolated Seniors (ROTIS) program. The ROTIS volunteer committee is responsible for visiting businesses that see their senior clientele on a regular basis such as banks, pharmacies and grocery stores. The staff at these locations may be able to assist their elderly customers in need of social and/or medical support. Our volunteers are in charge of creating awareness for employees of local businesses of the ROTIS phone number and how it can be used to help older people in their community. If you enjoy giving presentations and working with the public then this is a great opportunity. The committee also participates in local kiosks to inform the general public about our program.
To expand our current donation-in-kind program in Ottawa and Toronto.
