“I have volunteered with CAS London and Middlesex as a Child Minder, Special Events Volunteer, and, recently, a Friendly Visitor. I love working with the agency and the experience I have gained in this role. The agency offers many educational and training opportunities for volunteers as well as various ways to get involved. As a Friendly Visitor, I was able to work with the volunteer coordinator to choose a child match that I felt was best suited for my interests and experience. Then, I connected with the child, their caseworker, and their family to plan biweekly visits in the community. I had such a wonderful time building a connection with a child and experiencing different activities throughout London. I felt like I was making a difference and, as an aspiring social worker, I learned more about the profession I am looking to enter. I would recommend volunteering with Children’s Aid Society of London and Middlesex to anyone who is looking to have an impact and grow as a person!”
