Are you passionate about supporting children in a safe, caring, and nurturing environment? WINGS is currently seeking kind, dedicated, and dependable volunteers to support our childcare programs.

Our childcare programs are trauma-informed and family-centred, supporting both children and their mothers as they heal from domestic violence. Many of the children we support need extra time to build trust, feel safe with new people, and move through transitions. Our programs provide consistent routines, caring adults, and developmentally appropriate experiences that meet children where they are, while creating space for fun, play, and positive connection.

💥 Great fit for volunteers who enjoy active, playful afternoons and building positive relationships with children

🌿 Rocky Forest Daycare Program

Support our daytime childcare team by helping care for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers through stories, crafts, imaginative play, and daily care routines. Volunteers help provide calm, consistent support and comfort for young children as they explore and learn.

🕒 Time: Weekdays during the day, morning or afternoon shifts available
💖 Ideal for those with a patient, nurturing presence and experience supporting young children
