Be a Volunteer

YFC is helping young lives every day. So can you!

Volunteering is amazing. Investing in youth today makes for stronger communities tomorrow. In addition to the most important benefit of helping young lives move forward, you’ll really enjoy yourself too. Whether you are looking to invest in the community, fulfill volunteer hours requirements, gain experience in youth work, or looking to build friendships and contribute, YFC will be a good place to start. Please review the volunteers guidelines for more information about volunteering with us.

Little time, or lots of time… Some experience, no experience… Work with youth, help in other ways… Being part of the board, being part of a single event… Contact us now to find out more about getting involved!

Our Approach to Volunteering

YFC believes in involving volunteers in the provision of its programs, services and resources. We believe that by working together we will create a community of Hope, and that as we work together true community begins to form. As an organization our goals include :

To recruit volunteers who represent the ethnic, cultural and economic diversity of the communities of Westman.

To plan and develop programs which reflect the current needs of our communities.

To provide opportunities which promote skill development and personal development of each of our volunteers.
