The first step in volunteering is to attend an information and orientation session. During the session, you will have the opportunity to learn about our various programs as well as the different volunteer positions available. You will also have an opportunity to complete the application process and meet one on one with a member of the Volunteer & Community Relations team to discuss where you might be best suited to volunteer within the organization.
