Meet Our Dedicated Volunteers
In honour of National Volunteer Week, we shared the stories of some dedicated volunteers at Rebound. Read them below!
In a very short period of time, Jack has become a celebrated Rebound volunteer. Since early 2021, he has volunteered as a virtual tutor for a young man struggling in math through Rebound’s READbound tutoring program 📚 and the two of them are seeing amazing improvements from their time together!
As one of Rebound’s long standing volunteers, Carol has demonstrated intense commitment to Rebound and to her role as a valued volunteer, both as a tutor and a member of Rebound’s Youth Justice Committee.
Bhakti is a young volunteer dedicated to supporting students while also being a student herself – she juggles volunteering with completing the first year of her post-secondary studies. Virtual tutoring with Rebound can be a wonderfully enriching volunteer experience for those looking to give back to their home communities, even when circumstances pull them away.

The first thing I did when I retired at the end of January 2019 was come into Rebound the following week to apply to be a volunteer. I had known for a long time that this was the organization I wanted to support with my time once I had more of it to give.
