Ron Joyce Children's Health Centre
The Ron Joyce Children’s Health Centre (RJCHC) is a site of McMaster Children’s Hospital focused on providing a range of outpatient services focused on child rehabilitation and developmental health. The RJCHC serves families living in the local Hamilton community and throughout the region of Southern Ontario. In addition to providing outpatient care across the fields of physiotherapy, prosthetics and a number of rehab and developmental health clinics, the centre also has an extensive activity and event program for its patients. The event programming run by the centre allows patients to develop a sense of community at the RJCHC, but as well, helps to augment their on-going treatment at the centre.
Under this program, SOS volunteers will be Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS) Volunteers and will help to facilitate weekly and seasonal programming at the centre.

Volunteers
This year is the first year we will be running our volunteer program at the RJCHC and we could not be more excited! We are looking for 10-12 volunteers to make up our team for this first year. Volunteers will help to facilitate both weekly programming at the centre, as well as larger-scale seasonal events. Weekly programming includes cooking classes and cheer practices, while seasonal programming includes designing custom Halloween costumes for an accessible Trick-Or-Treat event, and local performances around the community! More volunteer opportunities will be available throughout the year as the RJCHC plans out their programming in more detail.
Our volunteer team will work amongst a multi-disciplinary health team to plan, organize and facilitate events for the outpatient community and their families at the RJCHC. Volunteers will be required to volunteer 1 ½-2 hours each week at their assigned weekly programming, as well as participate in larger events & seasonal programming throughout the year (exact dates and times TBD).
If you have any questions about this new volunteer opportunity, feel free to contact us at sos@mcmaster.ca!
