The volunteer recruitment is carried out mainly by the means of the seasonal activities held to promote and give visibility to the organization. Every volunteer receives a basic training on the HIV-AIDS. This training, which is held normally during the autumn, approaches the history of the disease, the biomedical aspects, the psychosocial aspects and the issues related to accompaniment of people living with the HIV-AIDS.
Supporting and integrating volunteers in the various services is initially the concern of a worker responsible for the whole voluntary action in Maison Plein Cœur. On the other hand, in the daily action, volunteers are associated to the worker responsible for the service in which they take part to ensure a direct and flexible coordination of the services.
The majority of volunteers working in Maison Plein Cœur have the occasion to meet at the time of voluntary help recognition activities, for instance during the week of the voluntary action in April. Other activities also come to underline the calendar of seasonal feasts, like Valentine's day or Halloween. These festivals are celebrated with all the community of Maison Plein Cœur, including service users, community workers, members of the board of directors as well as the close relations.
