Volunteer Pathways

Erik began volunteering with The Steadward Centre in 2019 and his path took him from volunteering to instructing Athletes in Training and finally joining the many TSC alumni making their communities better everyday. “I had a blast” right from Day 1 of volunteering, recalls Beaudry. And that continues to this day:

“I love the community and culture of inclusiveness that is pervasive in every program at the Steadward Centre,” he says. “The volunteers, athletes and program leaders I work with feel like family. The Steadward Centre is a space I look forward to going to every week to have fun, build relationships and grow alongside patrons. It’s a judgment-free zone that I’ve felt safe to thrive in, and I’ve also had the pleasure of watching others do the same.”
