Our volunteers are at the heart of what we make happen. They work alongside our staff across a wide range of programs, helping to build a caring, connected community where everyone belongs. Whether you have a few hours a week or want to get involved in a one-off event, there’s a place for you here.

Benefits of volunteering Time & requirements
Our volunteers tell us they love:

  • Feeling connected and part of the community
  • Learning new skills
  • The joy of helping others
  • Working with like-minded, passionate people
 Most volunteers commit one to three hours a week for an initial three-month period — but we’re flexible. One-off opportunities are also available.
