Volunteering Opportunities

 

Volunteers are the heart of the work we do at Strathcona Place Society. Volunteers contribute to and support our recreational activities, programs, events, and Departments. 


Our volunteers are engaged in meaningful activities and roles, and they come from diverse backgrounds but have one thing in common - a strong desire to help others.

Criminal record checks and interviews are required as you will be interacting with a vulnerable population and will, in some instances, be privy to confidential information.

6.  Do you take volunteers who need to complete practicum hours in the social work field?

Yes. However, approval is based on interest and available spots.
