Over the years, the Morrin Centre team had successfully completed many projects thanks to the assistance, dedication, and know-how of our volunteers. New and recurring activities offer volunteers the opportunity to develop their passions and to meet members of the community. Join our team of dynamic volunteers!

Your involvement as a volunteer can vary, ranging from helping with a single“one-off” event, to a recurring task that supports our regular acuities, to a specific project. Tasks can include:

Participation in events: We regularly need assistance with the logistics of cultural activities held at the Centre. Here’s a way for you to use your talents to contribute to the Centre’s programs and events.

Library services: We rely on the generosity of volunteers to greet library members and visitors and to handle the library desk services. The library is a relaxing setting that will allow you to better acquaint yourself with our impressive collection of books and share your passion for literature with our visitors.
