Discover what The Power of ONE volunteer can do -
EveryONE has something to offer that makes an impact!

The services Muskoka Seniors offers are made possible by the energy and talents of many volunteers who commit themselves to supporting the organization each year.

Over 100 volunteers assist in delivering services! They each contribute their ONE – what fits into their schedules, routines, and interests. To continue this work and meet the increasing needs of our community, we need you!

ONE day a week, ONE day a month, ONE day a year - what is your ONE?
