Meet Mabel, Volunteer with the Creative Spaces for Newcomers Program

Tell us a little about yourself.

I am passionate about aiding vulnerable sectors of society such as children, youth, refugees, newcomers, and the elderly. I am experienced in the dental assisting field, dental radiography, and infection control protocols. Proficient in time management and equipped with experience in conflict resolution.

I am seeking the possibility to advocate and assist these marginalized groups to find their desired status with representatives at different levels of government and institutions. I am trustworthy and want to enrich my experience in coordinating and organizing groups in the community and assisting them to share learning and experiences.

Why did you join this program?

I joined this program because I have the desire to be of service and of help the clients, people you serve in any way I can. This is my way of giving back to the community.

What did you learn from this experience?

I learned that there are certain organizations or agencies meant to help and support those who are in need and for free. Reaching out to people is important so they too will come to know about these agencies.

What’s next?

I am very pleased to make connections and learn more through volunteering in this project.
