Volunteering

The volunteer program includes some lovely people in metro Halifax.  They come from varied backgrounds but all share a desire to do something positive for women and children who are homeless or at risk.  Adsum's volunteers offer their skills, experience and time to make the organization and its services stronger for women and youth.  Adsum volunteers are involved in all aspects of the work, from serving on the Board to preparing a meal.
