Purpose:    

This volunteer position supports the Centre for Diverse Learners’ (formally Learning Disabilities Association of Halton-Hamilton) Executive Functioning program at one of our in-person sites.

Our facilitators will work with children in small groups of 4-8 students at various in-person locations across the Halton and Hamilton regions for 60-90 minutes a week, for 8 weeks.

Training is provided and is mandatory for ALL volunteers. All volunteers must submit a clear Vulnerable Sector Check dated within the last 12 months. There is the possibility of supporting additional sessions, if mutually agreed upon. During this time,
