Did you know that over the past year, 553 volunteers shared their time and talents across 57 activities and programs at St.Amant? Each hour, each connection, and each act of kindness helps build a stronger, more inclusive community for the people we support. Their work is rooted in compassion and care, offering comfort without expectation, connection without condition, and kindness that quietly changes lives.
2026 is an exciting year for the volunteer community: The United Nations General Assembly named this year the International Year of Volunteers for Sustainable Development and Volunteer Canada is celebrating by championing the stories of volunteers, Igniting Volunteerism across the country.
In honour of National Volunteer Week (April 19-25), we will be sharing some words from the volunteers who donate their time to make St.Amant such a special place.
Fernanda brings joy, connection, and the ability to make others feel truly seen to the St.Amant family. Fernanda is warm, open, and always ready to lend a hand or share a moment of laughter. Her energy is contagious and makes those she supports feel comfortable, welcomed, and at ease.
“My favorite memory volunteering at St.Amant was having a Bruno Mars dance party with Jarrid. He loves music and we had a blast singing and dancing together!
What I enjoy most about volunteering is creating connections with the people we support. I love going in there every week and getting to know each person and what they like to do.
What keeps me coming back to St.Amant is the warm and friendly environment that people make it. I always feel so welcomed and appreciated there.
I would highly recommend volunteering at St.Amant! It’s a great place to form connections with other people and give your time to your community.”
Fernanda, your ability to lead through connection and bring light into every space you enter is a gift to this community. Thank you for all that you do!
