Interested in Volunteering? Read below for current positions!

We have opportunities for adults in the community to volunteer, whether with our adult clients, with Calgary and area youth, or in a more general capacity. As we do not have a volunteer coordinator, the volunteer program is tended by a number of program and administrative staff, who develop and manage volunteer positions to encourage community involvement in the agency. To become a volunteer:

• Please complete the Volunteer Application Form and Consent to Criminal Record Check linked below, and send them to the contact person listed with the position.
• The program contact person will call or email you to arrange for an interview, where you will need to provide 3 references and complete the applicable clearance forms (including providing copies of specific identification). There is no cost to the volunteer for record check processing.
• Once screened and selected, the next step requires the new volunteer to complete an Orientation Session and an Education Session on the criminal justice system. Each of these sessions are approximately 1.5 hours long and are typically scheduled every 4-6 weeks.
• Volunteers receive position-specific training prior to commencing active volunteering.
• Please keep in mind that it takes a month or more to complete the screening and orientation requirements, due to scheduling of orientation sessions and processing times for groups who assist with our screening measures.
