Philosophy

Klinic works in a way that recognizes the value of caring for the minds, bodies, and hearts of both our clients and service providers. Our work is grounded in our feminist, pro-choice, anti-oppressive values; and we welcome people of all sexual orientations and gender identities, cultural backgrounds, abilities, and levels of socio-economic status to become a part of our volunteer team. Volunteers are a vital part of our agency and we value the full range of experience that volunteers bring to this work.

Training

Every applicant needs to attend our Welcome Volunteer Training before beginning in their role as a volunteer. This training consists of two 3-hour sessions, usually scheduled two days in a row, as well as two short online courses.

Skills and Requirements

Welcome Volunteers work with a wide range of people coming in to the Klinic office, which demands a high level of kindness and responsibility. Before applicants complete their training and begin their volunteer position, they must demonstrate the ability to work within Klinic’s value system. Applicants also need to be at least 18 years old and provide a Criminal Record Check obtained within the past six months, and be willing to apply for a Child Abuse Registry Check and Adult Abuse Registry Check before starting in their volunteer role.

Volunteer Commitment

After successfully completing Welcome Volunteer Training, each Welcome Volunteer is expected to fulfill a volunteer commitment of one shift each week for a minimum of six months. Volunteer shifts are scheduled Monday to Friday from 8am to 11am, 11am to 2pm, 2pm to 5pm, and 5pm to 8pm, (with the exception of no 5-8pm shift on Friday evenings), and on Saturdays from 10am to 1pm, and 1pm to 4pm. Volunteers need to be able to attend the same shift regularly each week, or fulfill a 'floating' commitment of 4 shift each month (scheduled week-to-week).

Acknowledgement of Understanding*

I have read and understand the above expectations regarding Klinic's philosophy, and the commitment and responsibilities involved with becoming a Klinic volunteer.

Once you submit this form, your name will be be placed on our waitlist, and you will be contacted by email when we have an opening on the Welcome Volunteer schedule to offer you. If you have any further questions in the meantime, please contact us at volunteerintake@klinic.mb.ca.
