Volunteer

When you join the Our Place volunteer team, you become an integral part of something very special – you become family.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Our Place. Volunteers are absolutely vital to our team and their contributions make it possible to serve meals, run programs, operate our facilities and help the most vulnerable citizens of Greater Victoria. By offering your time in service, it is our hope and expectation that you will enjoy the laughter, humour and sharing that happens between volunteers, employees and family members (clients) each and every day.
