Opportunity Description

Volunteers Needed Tetra Society PEI

Tetra 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.

About the Organization

Tetra Society of North America

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.

Mover/Driver

Summerside
Movers and Drivers are the backbone of the organization, as they carry out the mission on the ground by moving clients’ belongings to safety. In a group of 2-7 movers/drivers, guided by a detailed itinerary, volunteers will load/unload the client’s belongings into a vehicle and transport the client to the predetermined location. Rental vehicles are provided for the move, and movers who have a valid driver’s license are welcome to register as drivers.This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to make a significant impact through volunteering their time in a hands-on capacity for small chunks of time. The duration of each move varies, with an average of about 4-6 hours long from the vehicle rental pick-up time. Each move will be characterized based on the risk level and accordingly be escorted by local police, security guards, or neither. Our moves will often entail driving within and sometimes outside of the city. Further information will be shared with volunteers on a per-move basis. With our flexible volunteering model, you can sign up to volunteer on moves according to your availability.
