We value our volunteers

We are a volunteer-driven organization, relying on participation and contributions to maintain and deliver our programs. There are many volunteer opportunities within the House from helping in the kitchen to volunteering with house programs or assisting with administrative activities.

At MPNH we ask our volunteers to actively contribute to the achievement of our mission statement, vision and share in practicing our values. Volunteers help us to build a healthy and engaged neighbourhood by connecting people and strengthening their capacity to create change. Volunteers are an integral part of creating the MPNH community and we value each and every volunteer who spends their time with us.
