Things to know about volunteering with Squamish Helping Hands
- Most volunteer positions require a criminal record check. This is free and we provide the online link for volunteers to complete the consent.
- As we work with vulnerable adults, for most volunteer positions, volunteers must be over 18 years of age. Volunteers must be a minimum of 15 years of age and those between 15 and 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
- Many positions require a committment to a regular schedule. Consistency of relationships is important to those we serve and also essential so that we can operate our programs. Having said this, we do also have on-call positions.
Other Ways To Volunteer
For families, groups and those unable to commit to a regular schedule, there are lots of other ways you can help Squamish Helping Hands.
Organize a Donation Drive
Such as a sock drive, boot drive, or coat drive. Please check with us to find out what we need most.
Hold your own fundraiser
Your group could hold a bake sale or other idea to raise money for Squamish Helping Hands.
Volunteer at Events
From time to time Squamish Helping Hands holds events for which we need volunteers. If this interests you, we will put your name on a list and keep you informed of upcoming opportunities.
Bring your talents and interests to Helping Hands to help our participants
Some examples of this include leading yoga classes for participants, organizing a book club, or perhaps you are a stylist who can offer haircuts!
