Benjamin has been volunteering at Fraserview Child Development Center since October 2023 and volunteers every Friday from 9 am to 12 pm.
Leanna, who manages Fraserview, describes Benjamin as an asset to the team. She told his Employment Specialist that he is “amazing” and that his “interactions with the children are great”. Leanna went on to say Benjamin understands children’s behaviors and uses appropriate language when children need support. She also noted that Benjamin is an excellent “role model” for the children as he gets involved in activities such as dancing. He encourages some of the more shy or reserved children to join in. As part of his volunteer role, Benjamin helps to lead games and activities, assists with snack time as well as helping with outdoor supervision. Benjamin told his Employment Specialist that he always ensures the children are using the slide correctly and reminds them how to be safe.
Benjamin has shown commitment to his volunteer work. He is punctual, hardworking, and is eager to learn new skills. Way to go Benjamin!
