​Beyond the value in mentoring for the students and gaining skills for the seniors over the past school year both students and seniors benefited from an hour of “technology guiding” and “relationship development”. Students assisted seniors with barriers to technology, helped navigate questions, interests and cyber security, explaining their natural knowledge of the wired world. In turn students gained experience developing a relationship with a person often seven or eight decades older than themselves and a new perspective on what someone in their eighties or nineties is interested in and can do, and the challenges they may face!  

​We run highly supported sports and recreation activities for children, teens and young adults with autism.  It is a great opportunity for students to see how different each of our participants on the autism spectrum are and the support strategies we use.  Volunteer roles include: set up/take down of equipment, support using visuals, support staff with participants and enthusiastic participants.  We have online training that teaches about Autism Spectrum Disorder and we also have an onsite supervisor at every session to help with hands on learning.  Moreover, our programs are really fun and interactive and take place outside of school hours.  We have the following positions open in Victoria:
 
I Can Swim Saturdays 4-5:45, September 29th to November 24th at Juan Du Fuca Recreation Centre
I Can Play Sports and Be Active Saturdays 1:15-3, October 10th to November 28th  at Royal Oak Middle School
