Goal

MICBA (Mississauga Italian Canadian Benevolent Association) Forum Italia Community Services provides supportive services to seniors in residential not-for-profit housing at 155 & 195 Forum Drive (Mississauga), and volunteers are needed for programs in both buildings. We are the service provider that operates inside the housing buildings, and the wide variety of programs and associated seniors support initiatives would not be possible without a capable and dedicated team of volunteers, some veterans, many new. Thank you!

We have a continuing need of volunteers who can provide our residents and their guests with a wide variety of musical (and other forms of) entertainment (see DESCRIPTION, below). We view entertainment as a very important part of our commitment to keep our residents active, social, and happy. If you enjoy working with seniors and have a few hours to spare each month, Villa Forum WANTS YOU!!! Just 'Apply Now!' (click the yellow box, above) and let's talk about your talent and what you have to offer!


Description

Musicians, magicians, and more! You never know who could be preforming at the next Performance Night so be sure you're here to participate! Performance Night is an evening where a volunteer performance takes place for the residents. Snacks and beverages are served throughout the one hour show to enhance the overall enjoyment.
