Volunteering
Volunteer Opportunities
Our programs are all made possible by the generous volunteers who commit their time to the next generation of Christians. All adult Volunteers must have a current (within 5 years) Vulnerable Sector Check and follow the Leading With Care Policy as outlined by the Presbyterian Church in Canada.

Youth Group Volunteers
Youth Group Volunteers help to plan each Friday’s session when they are scheduled to be in a leadership role, as well as participate in planning the overall season of Youth Group – selecting special activities and making sure that there is a variety of events for youth to participate in.
Monthly Meetings for scheduling, planning and to touch base about Youth Group programming in general will help Youth Leaders feel connected to each other and help them work together.
