Volunteer Orientation Sessions (Fall 2024)
We host training sessions for our volunteers at the beginning of September and January every year. Volunteers only need to attend one training day. Dates are typically announced 1-2 weeks before Activities Night. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate additional trainings outside of the announced dates.
Volunteers can commit as much time as them have available to volunteer with us, there is no minimum. We understand that our volunteers juggle other commitments and responsibilities. Our only ask is that volunteers keep us updated about changes to shift they sign up for.
upcoming sessions:
September 17, 2024 and September 18, 2024
SSMU University Centre, Second Floor Room 203
5pm-6pm
Kitchen Shifts
Recruitment for kitchen volunteers is typically at the beginning of each semester. All new volunteers must complete orientation. Kitchen shifts are typically 2-hours long on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays between 10am and 3pm (occasionally a little later for special events) at the SSMU building. Due to limited kitchen space, we usually have 2-3 volunteers per shift.
Typical tasks: unloading groceries; processing, organizing and preserving ingredients; meal preparation; packing and distributing meals; cleaning.

Garden Shifts
