Volunteers
Cre8's projects are heavily supported by volunteers and we couldn't run the majority of what we do without them. Volunteers are essential for supporting clubs and activities. Our grocery project could not run without our vibrant and dedicated volunteers who show up every week.
We really enjoy the community spirit that working with volunteers brings to Cre8.

A key part of Cre8 is ensuring long term sustainability and encouraging young adults to give back to their community. Many of the young adults who have progressed through Cre8 are now coming back as volunteers.
