Wellspring Alberta is seeking enthusiastic, dedicated and compassionate volunteers to support our in-person Saath program in NE Calgary. Program Support Volunteers play an essential role in helping deliver Wellspring’s cancer support programs by creating a welcoming, organized, and supportive environment for members.

Wellspring Alberta is a charitable organization affiliated with the Wellspring Cancer Support Foundation, dedicated to supporting, educating, and empowering individuals living with cancer, as well as their caregivers and families. We offer a wide range of evidence-informed programs and services, all provided at no cost, to help navigate the many challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis. Our vision is that no one has to face cancer alone.
