Volunteering is at the heart of the AQTC

Volunteers, through their active participation, their availability and the richness of their experience, work in concert with the personnel of the AQTC on several levels :

» Organization and animation
Supervised by the counselor, volunteers who have had a TBI are involved in planning leisure activities and animating certain workshops and certain activities.

» Communication and information
Volunteers are involved with writing, editing, revising and the broadcasting of the tools of communication of the association, they also participate in representing the association in various institutions.
Consult the offers…..

» Administration and management
The members of the association are involved with the board of directors with the aim of defining strategy and making fundamental decisions for the optimal development of the association. Nominations are made once annually in May following a call for candidates.

The volunteer in the community

Volunteering is important! The projects are being multiplied and even if AQTC is always happy to offer positions to its members in the Association, it also considers important to organize activities related to volunteering in the community.

With the support of AQTC counselor or a community based volunteer organization, it is possible for a person living with the consequences of TBI to be active in volunteer work outside of the AQTC. This experience will clearly develop a feeling of self worth and accomplishment. It is at this point that we come to maintain the gains, whether they are, for example, organization or socialization.

The AQTC operates in direct collaboration with:
» Accès bénévolat, to know more….
» Le centre de bénévolat et moisson Laval, to know more….


To find out more about volunteering, for guidance in choosing a place to volunteer, or to be accompanied in your initial steps, communicate with Geneviève Bibeau, responsible of volunteering at 514-274-7447 extension 225.

COMMUNICATION
L'APPROCHE
This edition of L'APPROCHE highlights not only on the importance of creating awareness of Traumatic Brain Injury but also on the challenges involved in dealing with the invisible cause of the consequences. Whether it be eliminating prejudices, raising donations, preventing new traumatic brain injuries through education, creating awareness is our primordial activity. We hope, with this publication, you will spark consciousness in those who surround you, to pass the message that although the consequences of traumatic brain injury are very real and large, people with TBI, as survivors, are bigger
