Who We Are

In 1979, the Italian Women’s Association of Winnipeg was established to build a Seniors Residence which would fulfill a community need.

Six years later, this vision became a reality in the form of the “Villa Cabrini” because many individuals were willing to give of themselves to help others.  Villa Cabrini officially opened on March 31, 1985.

Villa Cabrini Inc, the sponsor of the residence, is a non-profit organization with a Board comprised of volunteer community members.  The board’s function is to operate the Villa as a community service in perpetuity.  The directors of the board serve without remuneration.

The Villa’s day-to-day activities are performed by our Property Managers, a Director of Programs & Services, a Congregate Meal Program Coordinator and a Project Caretaker.

The Villa and it’s activities are supported by the community and resident volunteers.

Volunteer

What is it like to be a volunteer at Villa Cabrini?

When you volunteer at Villa Cabrini, you will have fun, make friends and learn new skills. Volunteering will also enable you to acquire valuable skills and meet rewarding challenges.  By joining the Villa Cabrini volunteer team, you will enrich the lives of others by generously giving of yourself.

How much time does volunteering take?

If you have a few hours each week, you can become involved in some of our short term projects. Or perhaps you could donate a day each month and become involved in a long term project. For those of you who have more time available, we have longer projects or ongoing programs that might be more suitable.

When you become a Villa Cabrini volunteer, you decide how much time you have to give and we will do our best to accommodate you.  The following is a list of areas which are available for your volunteer consideration. Postings are open on an ongoing basis.

If you have a volunteer position that is not on our list, please let us know.  We are always looking for creative, new opportunities.
