Volunteers Corner

Volunteers have been at the heart of Zatoun from the beginning.  Beit Zatoun will be the same.  Volunteers provide more than time or energy they bring the goodwill and relationships which make something alive and exciting.  Zatoun's success rests on word of mouth and enthusiasm.

is central for volunteers in Toronto creating more opportunities to participate in an easy-to-get-to location. 

Volunteers can now drop in for 2 or 3 hours for specific tasks without needing the coordination and prep of earlier times.  Also the range of tasks has expanded to computer-based work and physical maintenance, etc.  You are invited to be involved at Beit Zatoun.  Below is a starting list of items / tasks that are needed.  Many are involved in startup especially needing to acquire furnishing and equipment - will be updated as needed.
