Current Volunteer Openings:

Duties: Volunteers call our donors to say “Thank You” for supporting Covenant House Vancouver. We are primarily privately funded and it is important for us to contact our donors and thank them personally for the difference they make in our young peoples’ lives. Learn more here
Other Volunteer Opportunities:
Volunteer Groups and Volunteers Under the Age of 26
These positions often focus on an event or short-term project. For example, one of the most important projects we carry out is our Thank-A-Thon. At our Thank-A-Thon evenings, volunteers get together to phone donors and say “thank you”, all in a fun environment. We also have golf tournaments or other large fundraisers once a year where we’ll need people to help with the day’s activities.

Standard Volunteer Positions
There are a wide variety of volunteer positions available. Some volunteers help in our kitchens by serving hot meals, while others provide valuable administrative assistance in our offices. Some even take our youth out on recreational outings.
You must be at least 26 to apply for one of these positions. We also require a one-year volunteer commitment. This is because it’s important for both our volunteers and our youth. The one-year commitment allows volunteers to learn and use the skills important to youth interaction, and allows youth (who are usually not very trusting of adults) to become comfortable interacting with our volunteers.

Mentorship at Covenant House
Our Mentorship Program gives youth the opportunity to develop healthy and trusting one-to-one relationships with responsible adults. Mentors are adult role-models that commit to supporting a young person to achieve their goals over the course of one year. We will provide orientation, training and personalized matching. If you have questions, please contact our Mentorship Coordinator, at mentorship@covenanthousebc.org
The Mentorship Program is currently not accepting applications.
