VOLUNTEER WITH US
Volunteers play a vital role at Eagles Nest!
Our volunteer positions are fun, flexible and help provide someone in the community with accessible mental health services.
Many of our volunteer positions are at Rescued & Restored, our thrift store. We also have positions at our HOPE Centre and out in the community.
If you are interested in volunteering with us:
- Submit an online application or pick up a paper application at Rescued & Restored or the HOPE Centre
- Once we receive your application, staff will connect with you to talk about your interests and experience and find a volunteer position that fits.
Due to the nature of our work, all volunteer positions with Eagles Nest require a criminal record check and some positions may require a vulnerable sector search.
We look forward to having you join our volunteer team!

When I discovered Eagles Nest and its mandate, I felt I found the perfect fit for my desire to volunteer with…(those) who had experienced difficulties and needed support. I am a people person who loves walking and learning alongside those who are working to discover wisdom to improve their circumstances. I'm thankful for the atmosphere and teamwork at Eagles Nest. It is my pleasure to be part of it.
