VOLUNTEERS MAKE A DIFFERENCE! 

Our philosophy of care, the foundation on which The Mount community is built, is based on the three pillars of compassion, respect, and hospitality.  A primary support in this foundation are our volunteers: the group of amazing individuals who offer the gift of their time to share their skills, experiences, and passions with our community.

If you are motivated, enjoy building relationships, and are seeking an opportunity to explore your talents, then consider joining our family here at The Mount! 

High school students: our organization is also registered under the PEI Community Service Bursary Program. Come help pay for your tuition and have some fun, develop valuable skills, and do fulfilling and meaningful work along the way! The bursary program offers $10 for each hour volunteered between the start of grade 10 and end of grade 12, and can be accumulated up to $1500. Find more information HERE.

Student volunteers may be eligible for the Canada Student Service Grant - find more information HERE.
