Type(s) of activity Activity facilitation

District Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension

We are looking for volunteers to look after children during group sessions and workshops offered to parents. This will allow parents to take some time for themselves and stay focused on the workshop content.

You may also assist with small tasks during the sessions, support a mother with special needs, set up or put away materials, clean up toys, sort donations, etc. Nothing is ever very complicated—just small things that make life easier for both our team and the families we serve.

RELEVANT INFORMATION

• You must be comfortable working with children ages 0–5 and in intercultural settings.
• You must speak French and be comfortable speaking English.
• A confidentiality agreement is required, as you will be in contact with the families at Maison Bleue. Please bring two forms of photo ID.
• A contact person will always be assigned to you on-site during your volunteer shift. You may consult with them as needed.
• We do not have a specific dress code. However, a minimum level of modesty is required given the family-oriented nature of our clientele.

Type and Frequency of Volunteer Work:

Regular, weekly, indefinite duration—Seeking a long-term volunteer (minimum 3 months).

Date(s) and Time(s): Thursdays from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., starting September 3, 2026
