Description
We are looking for a volunteer who is interested in building a friendship with a man with a developmental disability in his mid 50’s. Through Lifetime Networks, we are building a small circle of supportive friends who are committed to spending time with him once or twice per month.
Some of the activities he would like to share with a new friend include: going for walks and grabbing hot chocolate, attending community events, going to movies, going swimming, eating out, visiting Victoria attractions and new destinations going to see new things (ie. opening of a store, a new building going up..). He also loves to watch sports, both on TV and live events, and always happy to talk sports. .
