Opportunités de bénévolat à PEI - Student

Position Overview The Government of Prince Edward Island is seeking input from Islanders living with chronic pain, as well as those who support someone experiencing chronic pain, to help shape PEI’s first Chronic Pain Strategy. As arthritis is a leading cause of chronic pain, this is an important opportunity for our community to share lived experiences and help improve how chronic pain care and support are delivered across the province. Participation is through focus groups or an online survey. These opportunities are intended for individuals with lived experience and are not clinical appointments or treatment sessions. Important note This opportunity is not being hosted by Arthritis Society Canada. It is an initiative led by the Government of Prince Edward Island. Our advocacy team felt it was important to share this with the public, as it represents a valuable opportunity for Islanders living with chronic pain, or those supporting someone who is, to provide input and help shape PEI’s first Chronic Pain Strategy. Time Commitment Focus groups: 2-hour session (in person or virtual, depending on date selected) Survey: approximately 10–15 minutes to complete The survey will remain open until June 12, 2026 Participation is voluntary and one-time (unless you choose to engage in more than one format) Key Areas of Participation Participants will be invited to share their lived experience and perspectives on topics such as: Living with chronic pain and its impact on daily life Accessing care and support services Experiences with healthcare systems and community supports Gaps in resources or services Suggestions for improving chronic pain care in PEI Participation Options Focus Groups (In-person and Virtual) June 2 (6–8 pm) – Microtel Inn & Suites, Summerside June 3 (4:30–6:30 pm) – Stratford Town Hall June 15 & 16 (6–8 pm) – Virtual sessions To register for a focus group, please use: Chronic Pain Focus Group Sessions.

Results is an advocacy nonprofit that believes in mobilizing everyday people (our volunteers) to generate the political will to end extreme poverty in low-and middle-income countries. We focus our work on global health, access to quality education and economic opportunities. We direct our energy and efforts at government decision makers like party leaders, Members of Parliament and senators because they have the power to improve policies and make the monetary investments needed to end extreme poverty. We also raise awareness by writing letters to the editor (LTEs) and op-eds, using social media, fundraising and more. Oftentimes the first step is putting these issues on the radar — and keeping the pressure on. It might seem like a small step, but it all adds up into impact. commitment: 1 year minimum, 1-2 hours per week on average support structure: Volunteers (virtually) meet in local groups on a monthly basis and rely on their group leader(s) for guidance. Attending other virtual calls and webinars led by Results staff is recommended.

Nous concentrons notre travail sur la santé mondiale, l’accès à une éducation de qualité et l’inclusion économique. Nous concentrons notre énergie et nos efforts à mobiliser les décideurs et décideuses politiques comme les chef.fe.s de partis, député.es, sénateurs et sénatrices, car ils et elles détiennent le pouvoir d’améliorer les politiques et de faire les investissements requis pour éradiquer l’extrême pauvreté. Nous faisons aussi de la sensibilisation en écrivant des lettres ouvertes aux journaux, en utilisant les médias sociaux, en collectant des fonds et bien plus. Souvent, la première étape est d’attirer l’attention sur ces enjeux et de les faire connaître — et de maintenir la pression. Cela peut sembler être un petit pas, mais les actions s’accumulent et ont ainsi de l’impact. engagement : 1 an minimum, 1-2 heures par semaine en moyenne structure de soutien : Les bénévoles se réunissent (virtuellement) en groupes locaux tous les mois et comptent sur leur.s leader.s de groupe pour obtenir des conseils. Il est aussi recommandé d’assister à d’autres appels virtuels et webinaires dirigés par les employées de Résultats.

Volunteers Needed Tetra Society PEITetra Society consists of volunteers who design and build solutions for children and adults with physical disabilities. These solutions are custom-made for each client and help them overcome environmental barriers, achieve independence, and participate in education, employment, sports, and leisure activities. Tetra clients tell us about their unique needs. Our volunteers then design custom devices that are not available for purchase in stores because they are so unique, or they are too expensive to buy. As a non-profit organization, Tetra raises funds and covers the cost of the materials and travel to the client for up to $500 per project. Activities that most people take for granted are difficult for people with physical disabilities. With your time and skill and Tetra Society resources, you can help our clients to participate in these activities.
