Supported Introduction to Volunteering – VB JEDI in action
Supporting Community Justice-Equity-Diversity-Inclusion for Adults with Intellectual Disabilities
Volunteer Burnaby embraces and supports all individuals right to access volunteer opportunities regardless of age, gender, ethnic background, religion, mental or physical ability, or sexual orientation in their efforts to contribute to their communities. Based on our values, we introduced in 1993 the Special needs Access Program (SNAP) today supported by Community Living BC. Our program supports adults (19+) with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities by supporting their search for meaningful volunteer opportunities.
