Volunteer Salt Spring

"Your Gateway to Volunteering on Salt Spring Island"

Opportunities

Welcome to our Salt Spring Volunteer Opportunities!

Our goal is to match up your volunteer skills with our participating volunteer agencies' requirements. You can browse by category or alphabetically by organization.

Before you volunteer, be sure to talk to friends, family or co-workers about their volunteer experiences.

If you're a student, ask around at school. Many schools have programs to help students find individual or group volunteer assignments. Talk to a teacher or counsellor.

Once you've looked through the opportunities, contact the organizations directly to ask about what they have to offer volunteers and to talk about what you have to offer them.
