Want to make a real difference in your community by helping others with their job search journey? We’re looking for compassionate and reliable volunteers to support our Job Search Drop-In and Tech Support Sessions as part of the Employment Readiness Program.

If you’re able to offer 2 to 4 hours a week on site, we’d love to have you on board! Why This Matters: Many of the people we serve are facing real barriers to employment—whether it’s systemic issues, economic instability, or limited access to technology. Your steady support and belief in their potential can be a turning point. We’re looking for people who are tenacious, empowering, and ready to show up with heart and humility. What You’ll Gain: - Gain valuable insight and experience in the day-to-day operations within a nonprofit sector - Sharpen your communication and mentorship skills - Build meaningful connections with a diverse and resilient community - Great experience for anyone interested in social justice, community work, education, counselling and many more - A chance to give back in a way that’s both personal and impactful What We’re Looking For: - A calm, compassionate presence with a supportive and strength-based approach - Reliability and a genuine desire to help people move forward - Comfortable using basic tech (email, Google Docs, Indeed) - Able to offer 2–4 hours/week on site (Wednesdays or Fridays, 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM) - Willing to commit for a minimum of 6 months - Experience with or understanding of the DTES is a bonus, but not required Ready to make an impact? Come ready to learn, support, and make a difference — Get in touch to join us now! If you're accepted, we'll just need you to complete a free vulnerable sector check, attend a volunteer orientation, and do a shadow shift to get started.
