Youth Volunteer Program

Get involved! Be a leader! Make an impact!

Are you between the ages of 14-21? Want to make a difference in your community while making new friends and learning new skills?

The Youth Volunteer Program (YVP) offers group volunteer opportunities every month for you to get involved in your community and make a positive impact!

As a youth volunteer you will…

GET CONNECTED! - volunteer at various places in the city

LEARN NEW SKILLS! – attend skill workshop activities

HAVE FUN! – participate in organized social activities

I volunteer with YVP because…

“Developing new connections and relationships are very important to me as a volunteer. YVP has amazing leaders and volunteer team, so making new relationships is very easy as everyone is very friendly!"” Lien, 16

“YVP provides me a chance to adapt to a Canadian life, and I discovered that volunteering is something I love and am passionate about.” – Peter, 18

“Volunteering has helpd me to gain valuable social experience and develop social networks. The skills and great knowledge I obtained from volunteering can never be learnt from school. Everyone in the group is outgoing. We put our enthusiasm into helping others to make a better world.” – Jack, 20

“Upon recommendation of my brother, I joined YVP and as a result met wonderful people. I enjoy the YVP due to the emphasis on diversity and culture, and the aspects of Calgarian life that are not usually experienced." – Brenda, 17
