THE VALUE OF OUR VOLUNTEERS
We have a wonderful team of volunteers who come from all walks of life: CPS veterans, teachers, nurses, and many more. Their warm-hearted and personable nature helps create meaningful experiences for our guests. Above all, our volunteers are vital to the work that we do.
In partnership with the Calgary Police Service, we continually provide recognition to our volunteers for their service. We also strive to provide them with engaging work, training, and any additional information to make them successful.
JOIN THE YOUTHLINK VOLUNTEER TEAM!
We are currently seeking Visitor Experience Hosts. The role requires individuals who love interacting with the public and can provide great customer service. We are looking for strong communicators to help deliver YouthLink’s programs. We want individuals who are excited about sharing how the Calgary Police Service has impacted the community – both in the past and present; and are excited to learn and share presentations on forensics, history, and crime prevention. A love of learning is a must!
As a volunteer with YouthLink, you will be provided with training and the information required to succeed in your role. You will receive recognition from YouthLink and the Calgary Police Service for your contributions to our important work. We are dedicated to offering engaging and rewarding work that is also fun for our volunteers.
YouthLink is dedicated to creating a respectful workplace that values diversity, inclusion, anti-racism, reconciliation, and representing the Calgary community. We encourage all candidates to apply!
Details about how to submit your application will be posted once recruitment begins again.
