There is nothing more rewarding than giving back to those who are in need. There are a variety of non-profit organizations and charities that you can get involved in all year long.

These organizations depend on volunteers to help them operate. Therefore, your time will always be appreciated. Without the help of volunteers, many of these organizations would not be in place. Here are some of the top places you can volunteer throughout the year in Calgary.

Volunteers are needed to help make deliveries to those who are in need. If you would like to volunteer, you will need to fill out the online enquiry, complete a reference and police check, and have a valid drivers licence. It is also required that you have your own vehicle.

Theatre Calgary

Volunteers for the Theatre Calgary will be stationed in the coat check area and will assist guests. In Febuary alone, the Theatre Calgary is requesting 16 volunteers to help during the showing of The Philadelphia Story. To volunteer, you need to send an email to the Theatre Calgary. You will want to show up 30 minutes before your volunteer shift to receive a brief training on what your duties are.

The Calgary Women's Centre
