Frontline Volunteer- Hears in Action Summer Camp

6-6 hours / daily
- 
AdaptAbilities is a non profit organization that provides meaningful programs for children, youth, and adults with disabilities and volunteers play a key role in making that possible. 

At AdaptAbilities, summer is more than activities, it is belonging, confidence, friendship, and growth in a safe and supportive environment. Our Hearts in Action (HIA) Summer Camps are designed specifically for children and youth with disabilities who thrive with structured, inclusive programming.

Working alongside program staff, volunteers will:

• Support campers during recreational, social, and community based activities
• Assist staff in providing care, supervision, and engagement
• Foster positive, inclusive, and meaningful interactions
• Help create safe, welcoming, and supportive environments
• Encourage friendship building, confidence, and participation

📅 Program Schedule
June 29 - August 21
Monday - Friday
⏰ 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Families rely on us for consistent and reliable support throughout the summer, so we are looking for volunteers who are compassionate, dependable, and committed to creating positive experiences for campers.

To help provide consistency for participants and families, volunteers are asked to commit to a minimum of one shift per week throughout the summer.

📍 Program Locations
Edmonton and surrounding communities including St. Albert and Leduc.
