Volunteering for OSISS?

[Patchez9295]

Hi all,

Sorry if this has been posted before but I wasn't able to find my answer in the search.

Is it mandatory to have previous experience if you want to volunteer for OSISS? And if so, are there any other support groups (in the Toronto area) that allow civvies to help out? I'm just kinda sick of whining and moaning about everything that's wrong with the system and the shitty treatment veterans receive, and I want to actively do something about it to show my support and make some sort of positive difference.

OSISS is Peer support.

Peer being someone who has served, and has been diagnosed with an OSI.

The Family Resource Centre in Toronto, and Various legions are looking for volunteers, unless you qualify for the above.
