Volunteer with Us

Volunteers play a vital role at Eagles Nest.  By volunteering with us you help equip families with the tools they need to create a healthier future.

"When I discovered Eagles Nest and its mandate, I felt I found the perfect fit for my desire to volunteer with…(those) who had experienced difficulties and needed support.  I am a people person who loves walking and learning alongside those who are working to discover wisdom to improve their circumstances.  I'm thankful for the atmosphere and teamwork at Eagles Nest.  It is my pleasure to be part of it." Wilma

How do I become a volunteer?

The first step in volunteering is to submit our standard volunteer application.  After we receive your application, we will set up a meeting to talk about your interests and where you might fit in our organization.

* Note: because of the nature of our work, volunteer positions with Eagles Nest require a criminal record check and many positions also require a vulnerable sector search.

What do volunteers do?

We have a wide range of positions with varying time commitments.  We are following all recommended COVID-19 prevention measures at both the HOPE Centre and Rescued & Restored. 

Some common areas of volunteering are:

The HOPE Centre

• Professional Skills (e.g. facilitating a course, coaching, counselling, computer support)
• Program Hosts
• Event or Fundraising Support
• Gardeners
• Administration

Rescued & Restored

• Sales and Customer Service
• Photography for Social Media and our online store

What about Student Volunteers?

Student volunteers age 14+ can volunteer at our Rescued & Restored location.  Volunteer hours can be completed in only a few weekends, but many students love it so much they often stay longer.

What about Corporate or Group Volunteers?

We have benefited from the volunteer work of many corporate, church and service organizations.  Contact our Volunteer Coordinator to discuss these opportunities.
