Info Session Dates

At any time prior to attending an information session, please stop by the Kits House Front Desk to do the following so we can begin processing your application:    

• Fill out the Volunteer Registration and Criminal Record check forms. Please ensure you bring government issued photo ID for us to photocopy. This is a requirement from the Ministry of Justice for your Criminal Record Check application. There is no charge to you for a Criminal Record Check and Kits House will process the form after you complete it. Criminal Record Clearance letters can take up to 4 weeks to clear through the system.

• Kits House Volunteers are also Kits House members! The annual membership fee is $10, payable by cash or cheque, at the Front Desk when you start to volunteer.
