TIMBER COFFEE CO. IS A PLACE FOR COMMUNITY

As a faith based non-profit coffee shop and eatery under Central Alberta Youth Unlimited, we have chosen food services as our connection to the communities of Ponoka and Sylvan Lake.  We are a place where ideas are shared and where people of all generations are encouraged to connect with one another and especially with youth.  We strive to feed our customers delicious and affordable food in an environment they can feel at home in, as they enjoy meaningful conversations.
ABOUT VOLUNTEERING WITH TIMBER

Timber Coffee Co., a ministry of Central Alberta Youth Unlimited/YFC, supports youth, and family programming within our community.  The heart and time of a volunteer is deeply appreciated and valued by CAYU; volunteer hours both significantly reduce costs (which in turn benefits the youth and families we serve), and offers a high level of support and encouragement to our staff.  As a volunteer, you will be required to complete approximately 2 hours of onsite training.  Following training, it is preferable to schedule volunteers for 2-3 hours (minimum) per week working alongside a staff member.  

Our volunteers will be trained in food safety and prep, general cleaning of tables and dishes, and on our till.  You will be the face of Timber and CAYU to the community!

Central Alberta Youth Unlimited/ YFC Policy Regarding Professional Conduct with Young People

Central Alberta Youth Unlimited/ YFC (CAYU) believes in absolute professional propriety with regard to its work with young people. As such all the following policies are mandatory for CAYU staff and volunteers. It is the responsibility of the individual volunteer or staff member and their immediate supervisor to ensure compliance with these policies. 

No staff member or volunteer should have any young person connected with the work of CAYU under the age of 18 stay in their house over night. On exceptional occasions where this is deemed necessary, other staff or volunteers are to be present and parents or guardians must give written permission. No staff member or person acting in a capacity as CAYU volunteer is to stay overnight alone with any such young person. 

It is recognized that private conversations are sometimes a necessary part of the work. These will be conducted in a public building or public place (CAYU office, drop in, restaurant, etc.). 

CAYU is under legal obligation with respect to the knowledge it or its officers possess regarding young people under the age of 18. As such the relevant authorities will always be contacted immediately, should CAYU come into any knowledge regarding underage runaways or allegations of any form of abuse. All supervisors should make sure all staff and volunteers are aware of the correct procedures for doing this in the area or locality involved. The relevant ministry is the Ministry of Children and Family Services Authority and a case worker there should be immediately contacted, as should the staff member's supervisor. 

No CAYU worker or volunteer will be alone in a vehicle with any young person connected with the work of CAYU. If a journey needs to be conducted, a third person, preferably a staff or volunteer, should always be present. In exceptional circumstances where the journey is of crucial importance (medical emergency etc.) and no other staff or volunteer is available, the staff member must ensure that the youth rides in the back seat only. The staff must call their supervisor and inform them of departure and then again on arrival. 

All CAYU staff and volunteers must submit to criminal record checks. All staff should inform their volunteers of the need for this before they can take part in the work.
