Volunteering your time for your community’s well-being

Centre de bénévolat et moisson Laval (CBML) is a leader in its field, working to improve food security and to develop an efficient community-support network.

By recruiting volunteers, we can provide services to the population and community-based organizations across Laval.

Volunteering is a great way of expressing social solidarity and mutual aid. It provides you with opportunities to give back to your community and make a meaningful impact on the people and organizations that benefit from your act of kindness.

 

Onboarding and orientation

Once you have sent your application, we will invite you to meet with a recruitment consultant. At this meeting, which should last about 40 minutes, we will discuss your interests, skills, aptitudes, availability, and motivation so as to find a volunteer opportunity that meets your expectations and ensures your satisfaction and desire to stay on.
