Volunteer with MCHA

​Make a difference with MCHA
Through the commitment, passion and work of our volunteers, we are able to provide a wide range of services and programs. Volunteers are critical to our work, and act as advocates for all those who use our services. We offer our volunteers various opportunities within our organization.

 

Due to the vulnerable nature of our participants, we require our volunteers to be 18 years of age (unless youth 12+ are accompanied by an adult), and have a recent (within 3 months) vulnerable sector check available.
