The time commitment is flexible and depends on your availability and the school's needs. Volunteers typically give a few hours a week during school hours, which are generally between 8:00 AM and 3:00 PM, Monday to Friday. We will work with you to find a schedule that fits your availability and meets the needs of a school near you. Whether you can help once a week or more often, your contribution will make a meaningful difference!

Required Qualifications

Volunteers must provide a clear Vulnerable Sector Background Check to participate. Those volunteering at schools in Kingston will need to obtain this from the Kingston Police Force, while those volunteering in Frontenac, Lennox, and Addington will require it from the Ontario Provincial Police. Additionally, volunteers should have a willingness to learn, follow school policies and procedures, and work collaboratively as part of a team to support the success of the Student Nutrition Program.
