Description We are looking for a male volunteer who is interested in building a friendship with a young man in his early thirties with a developmental disability. He lives in the Langford area.

He is a friendly, pleasant young man with a great sense of humour. He does best when he has someone to motivate him and direct his activities. He also enjoys swimming for fitness and for fun. He would also love to spend time cooking with a friend. He enjoys pizza nights, hockey games, community events and watching movies. He would appreciate meeting someone with a sense of humour who likes to joke around and who is as easy-going as he is.

A vehicle is not required, however it is helpful, as he struggles to communicate meetup locations, and lives in Langford. If a volunteer is without vehicle access but in the West Shore, that would also work.
