Volunteers play an integral role in delivering our promise of finding cures for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis and improving the lives of Canadians living with these chronic diseases. As a volunteer with Crohn’s and Colitis Canada, the impact of your efforts will be felt by the millions of Canadians affected by Crohn's or colitis today, and for years to come.
We are seeking individuals passionate about making a difference in their community to join a team of dedicated volunteers in the role of Camp Got2Go Arrival/Departure Volunteer (Ontario). Camp Got2Go is a one-week overnight summer camp for children and teens living with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, providing campers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to interact and connect with other kids facing similar challenges.
This role involves virtual and in-person interactions. Crohn’s and Colitis Canada encourages volunteers and community members to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as defined by their local or provincial Public Health authorities. We take the health, safety, and well-being of volunteers seriously, especially in light of the fact that people with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis may have compromised immune systems, which is why we continue to follow the guidance of local Public Health authorities.
