Westover Volunteers
Who are the Westover Volunteers?
Primarily, volunteers are former clients who have commenced from either our Substance Dependence or Co-dependence Program but they can be anyone who is interested in supporting the work of Westover.
Presently they are more than 150 strong and last year they provided Westover with more than 7,000 hours of volunteer effort. Westover volunteers come in every shape and size, from every walk of life and from all over southwestern Ontario .
They are people who live the 12th Step every day of their lives and adhere unswervingly to the principal that to keep what they have they must be prepared to give it away.

Is there a Westover volunteer opportunity for you?
Absolutely! We need and rely on the support of our volunteers - but only if you are doing so for the right reasons. And the right reason is that you have a strong desire to make a difference in the lives of people just like you.
For that reason we hold unswervingly to a volunteer policy that your personal sobriety must be your first priority. That means we require those who commence from our program to wait six months before being eligible to volunteer at Westover.
