Youth Program Volunteer

Epilepsy South Eastern Ontario
Children & Youth

Epilepsy Southeastern Ontario is a non-profit organization in Kingston, Ontario, dedicated to improving the quality of life for those living with epilepsy or seizure disorders through support, education, and other resources. We aim to create youth specific programming for 2025 to support local children and youth diagnosed with epilepsy and seizure disorders. The goal is to create a space of shared experience for youth to meet other children with epilepsy, participating in fun, engaging educative activities, and programing. Bringing this to fruition will require the support of 2-3 volunteers to ensure the safety and well-being of youth in attendance. We support youth from 0-17 years of age.
