Get involved with your community
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with us! NVRC volunteers inspire by example in countless ways and help people connect and lead more active, healthy lives.
We are excited to work with you to find a good fit for your interests.
Volunteering for summer camps
We are now accepting applications for summer camps! If you have infinite energy, enjoy working with children or are eager to explore working with children, we invite you to join us for a memorable summer filled with new friendships and fun. Here‘s how you can get involved:
- Eligibility: Volunteers must be least 14 years of age before their first shift. To ensure the best fit and to help youth develop confidence and communication skills, we ask volunteers to contact us directly. Parents are encouraged to support their children by offering guidance and encouraging them through the process.
- Commitment: Volunteers should be prepared to commit to two full weeks of summer camp
- Placement: As part of the application process you will be asked to complete a placement preference form where you can share with us your availability, preferred location, times and type of camp that you would like to volunteer with. Camp schedules can be reviewed online starting May 1 at 12:00pm. Please note, the preference form is considered a request, and we cannot guarantee that you will be assigned to your preferred locations. Your placement will be confirmed once your application is complete and supporting documents have been submitted.
- Application Process: After submitting your application (see how to apply below), sign in using the username and password you registered with. We will be accepting applications until Sunday May 25, with all required forms submitted by Friday May 30 at 3:00pm.
- Next Steps: Follow the detailed instructions for the summer camp process found on the home page of Myimpact.
- Training: We train volunteers prior to camp to ensure you have the information and support to have the best summer. Attendance at training is mandatory. If you cannot attend training, you will not be eligible to volunteer for summer camps. New volunteers must attend new volunteer training.
- Returning summer camp volunteers or current volunteers: If you volunteered with NVRC camps in 2024 or are currently volunteering with NVRC programs and would like to join us for summer 2025, please email volunteer@nvrc.ca.
We look forward to having you on our team and making this summer unforgettable!
