What makes volunteering at ANHBC different?
How to Volunteer
Volunteering opportunities vary by location. Connect with your local neighbourhood house to explore what’s available.
Your Impact in Numbers
“We meet our neighbours where they are at, while providing opportunities for us all to learn together – to gather, grow and build a spirit of Community! Sowing the seed in children of a culture of healthy eating is very important.“
“I rejoice at the impact this one hour a week has on my life. I learn about exotic foods; share in stories of elation and despair, courage and humour; experience new cultures, traditions, and customs. I was able to meet people I care about, and want to spend time with. Connection. A word to sum up the mutual impact between myself as a Kits House volunteer, and the community of beginners English conversationalists.”
