OCS Outcomes Report 2016-2017
Get Involved Options Needs You …. Volunteer. You’ll be glad you did!
Every year, hundreds of people donate their time and skills to the diverse array of programs at OCS. This year, over 520 volunteers contributed almost 35,000 hours of their time. They engaged in a variety of activities, including answering Fraser Health Crisis Line calls, supporting families, youth and newcomers to Canada, cooking, teaching, crafting, researching, assisting with reception and clerical tasks, building playgrounds, landscaping, painting, IT-related tasks, special projects and much, much more. We couldn’t do it without the support of our incredible volunteers!
Volunteer with the Crisis Line Volunteers aged 18 and older come from all walks of life and reflect the cultural diversity of the community. Volunteers receive 50 hours of training before answering the Crisis Line. Training includes: • Cultural Competence & Diversity. • Crisis Intervention. • Suicide & Homicide Risk Assessment. • Family Violence. • Boundary and Limit Setting.
