Volunteer Salt Spring

"Your Gateway to Volunteering on Salt Spring Island"

What's your passion?

We all have a passion, something we love doing more than anything.

But did you ever think about using the passion you have for the things you enjoy in life to get involved in volunteering—bringing something really amazing to your community?

At Volunteer Salt Spring we help individuals find the right volunteering opportunity to match their passion, skills, experience and availability.

We help local organizations find the volunteers they need by providing a virtual gateway to the community for their volunteering needs. We also help educate both volunteers and volunteer organizations on the many aspects of volunteering.

We need your input!
