ElderCare Edmonton is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing recreational therapeutic programming for seniors in the community.

Our Day Programs operate out of three different locations across Edmonton, and volunteers are able to work alongside their supervisor to specify which location and time works best for their schedule.

The primary duty of the Online Program Host volunteer is to ensure that the Wellspring essence of welcome and care is translated to the online programming context. The Program Host is responsible for ensuring that the program runs smoothly from a technology side and that the Program Leader feels supported.
