OUR PROGRAM THIS YEAR

We’ve made changes to our volunteer program, based on feedback from the community and our amazing 2016 and 2017 volunteer teams. Changes include integration of a youth component, more specified roles for volunteers, one HUGE celebration event at the end of the summer, and more networking opportunities.

We’re also proud to announce that we are a member of VAACT: Volunteer Award for Arts and Culture Toronto. VAACT is a program that strives to recognize volunteers who contribute their time to multiple arts and culture organizations throughout the year in the city of Toronto. The program ends each year with an awards ceremony for VAACT participants, scheduled on International Volunteer Day.

We’re here to help. Should you have any further questions about volunteering with us, about the online application and volunteer portal, or would simply like to know more please contact:
