Description of Duties

The ideal PAL would enjoy spending time outdoors, chatting about big ideas, or just hanging out in a relaxed, informal way. Whether it’s going for a bike ride, enjoying music, a friendly game on the court or simply sharing quiet moments, your presence and mentorship could mean a lot.

PALS stands for Partnership through Activities, Learning, and Sharing. It’s a one‑to‑one volunteer opportunity designed to build meaningful connections between the people supported by St.Amant and volunteers. Rooted in shared interests, the program promotes friendship, inclusion, and mutual joy through recreational and social activities.
