As a Compassionate Connector you will emotionally support and help build social networks with your person, as well as family and friends around them. This is a little different to traditional volunteering, as an essential part of your support is to find additional supports in the person's community. This can be connecting with a neighbour, helping connect with formal services, or arranging for help in the person’s existing network with everyday tasks like getting to appointments etc.

Because of the unique character of this volunteering program, in order to become a Connector, the first step is to participate in our very enjoyable quality training before we match you with a participant. This training is complimentary and helps prepare you for the Connector experience. Importantly, it also allows you to meet others like-minded and is the start of the ongoing support Proveda offers throughout your Connector experience.
