Our final Volunteer Spotlight is Charmaine Davidge!

“I used to work with Empower years ago when I worked at another non-profit. There were, and are, an amazing community partner.

I first volunteered with Empower about 15 yrs ago. I served on Empower’s Board of Directors. For the last 5 years or so I have volunteered with the Inclusion Crew. They support barrier reduction for individuals with disabilities to attend concerts, festivals and events such as the St. John’s Regatta. I am so grateful to Empower for providing this opportunity and I am looking forward to volunteering again this summer!

I have volunteered with the Canadian Hard of Hearing Association- NL, Coalition of Persons with Disabilities (COD-NL), End Sexual Violence – NL, Equal Voice NL, the Pottle Centre, among others.

I love volunteering. It provides me with an additional means to work with organizations that I believe deeply in. I learn so much from those opportunities.

I watch NHL hockey, not post season hockey because my team rarely makes the playoffs. I spend a great deal of time with my cats. I also spend time near the ocean, smelling salt water.”
