Are you a makeup artist, beauty consultant, cosmetologist, esthetician, or skincare specialist? Are you interested in supporting individuals facing cancer with dignity and compassion? Join our network of volunteers and make a tangible impact! Who are we at the core: Look Good Feel Better is a national charity dedicated to empowering people facing all cancers through knowledge, support and confidence. Our core workshop, available through more than 80 cancer centres across Canada (and online) helps individuals safely manage the appearance-related effects of cancer and its treatment so they can feel more like themselves again. Powered by over 1,000 dedicated volunteers delivering compassionate care and expertise, we are a trusted voice in self-care, emotional well-being, and community connection. About the Role: We are currently recruiting passionate volunteers across Canada to lead or support our Skincare & Makeup Workshops for people facing cancer. For over 30 years, these workshops have offered participants a chance to manage the appearance-related effects of cancer treatment through gentle skincare routines and cosmetic techniques. Volunteers coach participants through steps like applying foundation, concealer, and blush; recreating the appearance of eyebrows and lashes; and encouraging self-expression in a safe, supportive space. These sessions provide more than practical tips — they offer a rare moment of fun, confidence, and connection during a vulnerable time. Who we're looking for: We’re seeking professional beauty experts who are not only skilled in makeup and skincare, but who also bring compassion, empathy, and clear, gentle communication to every session. Whether you're a makeup artist, esthetician, or skincare specialist, your expertise can make a meaningful difference in the lives of people navigating cancer treatment. Requirements: • Trained as a makeup artist (MUA), esthetician, or beauty/skincare professional, or experience working in a dermatology office or skincare clinic • Able to teach makeup application techniques in a clear, step-by-step way • Comfortable supporting individuals undergoing cancer treatment through both one-on-one and group facilitation • Confident coaching participants to apply their own makeup while offering hands-on support when needed • Brings a warm, empathetic and inclusive approach to create a welcoming, supportive environment for all • Committed to attending workshops regularly, collaborating with your local team, and supporting a cohesive and respectful volunteer experience. Time Commitment: Volunteers must be available once a month for 2.5 - 3 hours at a set day, date, and time. Specific schedules vary by location. Visit our website or contact us to explore the workshop schedule for your area. The onboarding process can take up to 6–8 weeks and may include site-specific volunteer training, screening requirements, and any necessary inoculations required by the host facility. Join a dedicated community of volunteers—many with over 20 years of commitment—where you’ll empower people facing cancer, make a real and lasting difference, and grow both personally and professionally. Become part of something meaningful that truly changes lives.
