Volunteer

Be a part of the solution.

Volunteers are critical to Homeward Trust’s success. Without the help of hundreds of volunteers each year, we would not be able to advance our events and initiatives. By volunteering your time, you are making a difference in the life of a homeless or at-risk individual.

As volunteer opportunities become available, we will list them here.

The benefits of volunteering include:

giving something back to the community
making a difference in someone’s life
sharing your skills, talents and time
helping others
making new friends
gaining experience

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We recognize we are gathered, in collaboration and with joint purpose, on Treaty 6 territory. This territory is the home and gathering place for diverse Indigenous peoples. The Cree, Blackfoot, Dene, Iroquois, Anishinaabe/Saulteaux /Ojibwa, Nakota Sioux, Inuit, and Métis, among many others. We know the importance of the Treaty and our responsibility to these communities and that only in partnership can we create the social change necessary to end homelessness. It is vital we meaningfully engage and partner with Indigenous people and communities in this work while recognizing and addressing the conditions brought forth by colonialism. Displacement from traditional homelands, systemic racism, residential schools, the Sixties Scoop, and the ongoing overrepresentation of Indigenous people in child welfare, correctional systems, and homelessness are responsibilities we all share. We acknowledge ourselves as visitors living and working in this Territory.
