Youth volunteers are encouraged to get involved and give back to their community. It is important for our residents to integrate with younger generations within the community and allow for their stories to be heard, their experiences to be carried on and reflected upon. At Villa Leonardo Gambin we require that students wishing to complete school assigned volunteer hours complete a minimum of 40 hours of community service in order to receive a greater understanding and exposure to the long-term care setting. Youth aged 13 to 15 are welcome to become registered volunteers with the accompaniment of an adult registered volunteer.
