TESTIMONIAL: "With semi-retirement around the corner I found myself considering opportunities to volunteer in the community. During my career I had done some work with families so decided to take a closer look at the London and Middlesex Children's Aid Society. During the interview process the Agency did a great job of describing the driver position and expectations. Since I enjoyed driving and working with children/adults this was a good fit. Providing these supports to children and families was rewarding well beyond my initial expectations."
