About the Organization

The Tetra Society’s mission: “Tetra builds innovative solutions for people with disabilities to overcome environmental barriers, providing greater independence, quality of life, and inclusion”.

The Tetra community service model is simple - we match skilled Maritime volunteers with local residents with a disability to design, build and install a custom assistive device that gives them great independence in their life. Tetra utilizes the skills of the local community in providing a much-needed service to some of the region’s most vulnerable population. These custom devices improve the independence, health and happiness of the client and improves the well-being of the community.

Tetra Society serves the entire province.
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.
