Volunteering With Us
How can I volunteer with you?
You can volunteer with us in a few different ways.
Short-Term Volunteering
Some of our volunteer positions are on a short-term casual basis. These are called In-A-Pinch shifts. We have need of Retail Support Volunteers on the sales floor as well as Donation Sorting Volunteers in the back room. Please inquire about both of these positions here.
Long-Term Volunteering (6 month commitment)
If you are looking for a long-term position, with opportunities to team up with us on projects of your own, help out as an Upcycling Studio Support Volunteer, or simply to have more flexible and long term shifts as a Retail Support Volunteer or Donation Sorting Volunteer please inquire here.
Long-term positions are at least 6 months in length with various weekly shift requirements. After applying, we will meet with you virtually to see if you are a good fit for our team and then you can get started with us!
If you are interested but have a full schedule, please still apply and we can accommodate you!
What volunteer positions are available?
We have several different positions available for those looking for short term/casual volunteering or a long term volunteer commitment. Peruse the positions and their descriptions on our Volunteer Page!
I can't see any Donation Sorting or Retail Support shifts available on Volunteer Hub!
Our In-A-Pinch sorting shifts are some of most popular! If you cannot see a shift available that meets your schedule, then that shift is likely full. Please keep an eye out for future shift openings or cancellations.
Do I need to cancel my shift on Volunteer Hub if I cannot attend it?
Yes. If you are scheduled for a sorting or retail support shift and are unable to attend, please cancel your shift at least 24 hours in advance so that another volunteer may have the opportunity to attend. Volunteers who regularly sign up for shifts and fail to attend them will be unable to sign up to volunteer with us in the future.
I am having trouble with Volunteer Hub!
If you are having trouble with Volunteer Hub (recording your hours, making an account, etc) you can email Volunteer Resources at volunteer@ysm.ca. Please include any relevant information, including screenshots if possible, so they can help you out.
Again, if you do not see the shift you want available, then it is full and we unfortunately do not have room to accommodate any more volunteers that day!
Can I get a letter confirming my volunteer hours?
Yes, of course! If you are looking for a letter summarizing the hours you’ve volunteered at YSM please contact Volunteer Resources at volunteer@ysm.ca.
