• Receive invitations to attend recognition/appreciation and social events.
• and much more!

Student Placements

The agency recognizes the importance and need for students to gain practical work experience.  We accept student placements from highschool, university, college and other post-secondary institutions.  Students are considered from a wide range of studies including, however not limited to:  social work, child and youth, law & justice, corrections, addictions and human resources.  Placements provide students with an opportunity to learn and acquire skills and hands-on experience in a not for profit charitable organization that is focused in areas of social service, criminal justice and homelessness.

We also provide a supportive environment for people completing community work placements and community service hours.  Completion of hours are monitored and confirmation is provided.
