Volunteer

Be a part of the solution.

Volunteers are critical to Homeward Trust’s success and are crucial to our efforts to build community and awareness. Without the help of volunteers, we would not be able to advance our events and initiatives to prevent and end homelessness and make a difference in the lives of vulnerable people.
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
Typical Volunteer Roles
  • Greeting people at our events typically over spring and summer, helping at the registration table, assisting with event set up and tear down.
  • October Housing Month and Community Update
  • Volunteering for the Point in Time Count and Edmonton Street Count (every two years)

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We recognize we are gathered, in collaboration and with joint purpose, on Treaty 6 territory. This territory is the traditional home and gathering place for diverse Indigenous Peoples. The nêhiyaw (Cree), Niitsitapi (Blackfoot), Dene, Haudenosaunee (Iroquois), Anishinaabe (Saulteaux/Ojibwe), Nakota Isga (Nakota Sioux), Inuit, and Métis, among many others cared for this land since time immemorial and continue to steward it today. As visitors in this territory, we honour the importance of the Treaty and our responsibility to these communities. Only in partnership can we create the changes 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.
