PROGRAM VOLUNTEERS

The Simcoe County Association for the Physically Disabled provides a variety of volunteer opportunities that enhance services provided by the Association and foster new initiatives to better service the needs of persons with disabilities while promoting and recognizing volunteerism in our organization and communities throughout Simcoe County.

Each volunteer contributes to the organization, thereby assisting in the achievements of its purpose and mission. S.C.A.P.D. volunteers come together to make a positive change in their communities across Simcoe County and are a critical resource to our organization.
