Become a Volunteer with ISANS
At the General Orientation, you will learn about available volunteer roles, and the next steps to get started volunteering.
ISANS offices are wheelchair accessible, have barrier free washrooms, and a scent-free policy. If you have any questions about accessibility, please contact us at volunteer@isans.ca.
Please note: some of the ISANS volunteer roles require an intermediate to advanced English language level. This is because the roles support:
- newcomers with beginner English levels who wish to be matched with someone who can help them practice their English
- newcomers with a wealth of experience who seek insight into the Canadian workplace and community culture
We do have some opportunities for beginner English language speakers as well!
Volunteers must be 18 years of age and older to volunteer. For those under 18, and enrolled in a high school co-op program, there may opportunities work placements at ISANS.
