TWO FAMILY SERVICES VOLUNTEERS

Daughter’s ambition achieved by mother

When 12-year-old
Vivienne went to Engiand to
visit her grandfather she met
his social worker and it was
the beginning of a dream —

she would be a_ social
worker. But although she
moved steadily in that

direction through her high
school years, she is now the
owner of a pet store and
mother, Alma Chard, is the
social worker, recently
employed by the Ministry of
Human Resources.

Both, however, have been
staunch volunteers with

with very different
assignments and experience.

Alma joined the volunteer
program first, in 1977, and
became involved in helping
new arrivals at the pilot
project transition house, co-
sponsored by Family Ser-
vices and St. John's Anglican
Church. Her next assign-
ment was to befriend a
woman prone to depressions
encountering a variety of
problems in her family life.
Over the two years they have
been meeting, Alma feels

tabncs TABLE

they have become really
good friends.

Now her “client” has
moved to Vancouver, and
the volunteer relationship
will be terminated, but
friendship remains “I just
can't imagine not sceing
Pauline any more,” says
Alma. Her volunteer ex-
perience helped Alma make
a career decision for herself
— her family off her hands,
it was time for mother to go
back to school and the

Service Worker program
was Alma’s goal. It was a
real red letter day when she

was accepted.

Daughter Vivienne
Manning already had
considerable volunteer

experience when she joined
the Family Services program
soon after her mother. Her
assignment was to work with
a young mentally han-
dicapped person. They took

night school courses and
enjoyed other leisure ac-
tivities together.

Vivienne has found it a
very rewarding experience
to help Anne move out into
the adult world. Now Anne
is employed in Vivienne’s
Store, and proving to be a
very reliable and meticulous
worker. Soon Vivienne will

be accepting another
assignment. She loves her
volunteer work, and who

knows, maybe one of these
days she, too, will be going
back to school.

The Family Services
volunteers generally work
with individuals on an
assignment basis as did Alma
and Vivienne, though Alma
also extended her work to
serving on the Board of
North Shore Family Ser-
vices, another challenging
job, asd = still valuable
volunteer work.

New volunteers are

as

recruited and trained at
regular intervals.
