Volunteer with us
Our volunteers are essential to our vision of giving all kids the best chance to live a long and healthy life.
By donating your time and talents, you help us keep the cost of fundraising down, which means more of the funds we raise go to supporting world-class care for Stollery kids and their families. Volunteering with us is also a great way for you to meet new people, develop skills and have fun!
Whether you’re looking to offer event support, help with community outreach, or lend a hand with occasional office administration, we have opportunities for you.
