Volunteers' Testimonials

"Through my placement experience at ACSA, I developed a better sense of self in the field of social work. ACSA provides students with a great range of opportunities to participate in. The staffs were very helpful and encouraging to work towards my learning goals and provided the best learning environment possible for all students."

“I worked as a volunteer since 2014 and this year is my second year as tax preparer in ACSA CVITP Tax clinic. I also volunteered at the Food Bank when I first started. I was so impressed by all of ACSA staffs and felt their enthusiasm towards work. I would like to take this chance to extend my thanks to everyone who gave me the opportunity to work in ACSA as well those who give me support during work.”

— Lena Chan, volunteer since Nov 2014

"Through my volunteering with ACSA I’ve come to meet those in tough life situations, whether they’ve gone without shelter or are just looking for an opportunity. Being able to assist them has not only helped me put my own life into perspective, but also gives me great joy being able to put a smile on their face. To me – volunteer work is an amazing way to learn about leadership and connecting to the community around me."

— Chris Alcober, volunteer since Oct 2015

"After retiring over 5 years ago and caring for my mother until she passed away, I decided to volunteer at ACSA. I have worked in the Kitchen and Drop-in area preparing and servicing breakfast, lunch, and snacks to walk-in clients for over a year now. It has brought more meaning to my life, a better weekly routine, and satisfaction in helping those in need. I also enjoy the social aspect in interacting with the clients, and working alongside others at ACSA who have similar intentions. Interaction with the clients also gives me better insight and understanding of some of the challenges that these people face in their lives. Over the past few months I took on the added duties to do income tax preparation for low income earners. Although sometime challenging, it gave me great pleasure in knowing that I can perform these duties satisfactorily after being retired from office work for so many years. It is also satisfying to know that I am helping families and individuals get their income tax done, and receive tax credits when perhaps they couldn't do this on their own."

— Ken Chew, volunteer since Feb 2015

“Completing my student placement with ACSA was an awesome experience for me as not only did I learn and grow as a Social Service Worker student, but also it's amazing staff made the environment very comfortable for me by being supportive throughout the entire time I was there. One of the things that were remarkable is how the agency passionately responds to the needs of the service users as well as creating a safe and warm environment for the volunteers/student placements. The staff is ever ready to help you grow by giving you all the necessary information that you require concerning the agency, and teaching you how to work in a professional setting. I really enjoyed my time at ACSA and I am so grateful for the knowledge I gained within the time I was there. Thank you ACSA staffs."
