Make a difference in someone’s life through volunteering.

Join us in bringing hope and support to those in need by sharing your time and talents.

Hope Mission relies on volunteers to provide help, support, and compassionate care to people in need all across the province.

Serving your community is a great way to make a deep impact on your community and change lives – even your own.

The first step is to fill out the online volunteer application. If you have a specific way you’d like to help that isn’t listed on the form, please connect with the volunteer department in your city to discuss your idea further!

Youth between the ages of 12 and 17 are eligible to volunteer as long as they are accompanied by an adult. Volunteers that wish to serve directly with children or in our emergency shelters must be at least 18 years old.

Most shifts are between 3 – 4 hours. Volunteers that serve meals, help in the emergency shelters, or sort donations do not need to commit to a regular schedule. Once volunteers are approved for those areas, they have access to an online schedule that will allow them to see open shifts and book themselves accordingly. Certain volunteering positions will require a regular commitment.

We do not allow drop in volunteers to ensure that everyone is provided orientation information and our schedule is balanced. Please fill out an online application form if you are interested in volunteering or accompanying a current volunteer.

Holiday volunteering shifts are opened three months in advance. These tend to book up extremely quickly, so be sure to apply early!

At this time, we are not accepting practicums or placements. Feel free to reach out if you need any additional information.
