Opportunity Description:

The HSCPC is looking for volunteers to participate in and run community-based crime prevention and safety programs such as information & community assistance services neighborhood patrols, litter clean-up, road safety campaigns and outreach events.

 

As an information and community assistance volunteer, you would help provide referrals and resources to community members seeking assistance with situations related to safety, crime prevention and victim services. Neighbourhood patrols involve walking around the Hastings Sunrise neighbourhood and listening to concerns, opinions and feedback from residents and community members about current events and neighbourhood trends. Community clean-ups involve working as a part of a team to help clean and prevent litter and graffiti from accumulating in the streets of Vancouver. Road safety campaigns involve volunteers reminding drivers to reduce their speed and leave the phone alone. Outreach events can vary from information booths at community fairs, presentations & info sessions, and many more community gatherings in partnership with other organizations.
