Volunteer Opportunities

The following are some programs and services that NCJWC-TS offers. 

 If you would like to volunteer, please call 416-633-5100


Become A Reading Angel
The Reading Angels program is designed to help children who may require special attention to enhance their reading skills.  Caring volunteers work one-on-one with a child at the school with teacher supervision.
How you can help?  By devoting a couple of hours per week to read with a child.

Universal Snack Program
Help in the fight against child poverty.
This program provides children in need with a nutritious snack or small meal.  Volunteers provide these directly at the schools and sites where the need exists.
How you can help?  By devoting a couple of hours, one, two or three days per week, assisting in the preparation and distribution of snacks for the children in the schools.


Seniors Lunch & Learn Programs
This program provides a hot and nourishing meal followed by a stimulating afternoon with a guest speaker or performer.  The program occurs on the last Tuesday of each month, from 12:00 noon to 2:00 pm, at Council House.
How you can help?  By devoting three hours per month assisting in the set-up and registration of the program, assisting with the preparation and serving of lunch. 
Also, if you have a special talent, can perform in a play, play a musical instrument or sing or would like to discuss a topic of interest with the seniors, one hour per month is all that would be needed.

 

Passover Food Drive - The food drive of the community!
Help us to help make a difference in the lives of so many.  Each year, we at NCJWC-TS, assist thousands of new Jewish immigrants, shut ins, seniors, the disabled, the incarcerated, and the homeless, to celebrate Passover with dignity by providing the necessities for a Seder meal.  You, your family, your synagogue sisterhood, organization, student union can be a part of this rewarding and worthwhile program.
How you can help? By devoting as much time as you possibly can to this event. Help by, sorting Kosher for Passover food, supervising packing groups, and delivery food boxes on Delivery Day.
