We want every volunteer experience to be meaningful and successful. Here's what you should know:
Most volunteer opportunities are based at our Edmonton office (12909 53 Street NW). Hours are flexible and can include evening or weekend shifts depending on program needs.
After you submit your interest, we'll reach out within 1-2 weeks to discuss opportunities that match your skills and availability. We may ask for references and conduct a brief interview.
We ask for a minimum commitment based on the role (typically 4-8 hours per month). All volunteers receive proper training, support, and guidance to succeed in their role.
We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds and experiences. If you have lived experience in BIPOC communities or share our mission, we'd love to hear from you.
