Product Details

This Canada volunteer programme offers the opportunity to work in and around the beautiful cities of Victoria (or Vancouver), British Columbia. Choose to teach, volunteer in healthcare, HIV/AIDS awareness, environmental projects, or fine arts and cultural organisations in Canada.

Volunteer Role

As a volunteer on the Community and Wildlife Volunteer Programme you can choose from a number of projects. These include:

Option 1: BC Wildlife Rehab
Volunteers will work nurturing small birds and land mammals back to health. Not only will you assist with the care and feeding of animals, your skills are desperately needed in areas such as: office administration, website maintenance, grounds keeping and carpentry.

Option 2: Victoria School Volunteer
The vision of the school is to provide educational opportunities that empower children to create fundamental social change towards more fulfilling and ecologically sustainable communities. To this end, they have chosen a teaching approach that models bioregional philosophies and provides freedom of expression and choice to students. The only requirement is that they do go biking twice a week and ask that the volunteers be able to go too.

Option 3: Art Volunteer Canada
Working within a gallery you'll be involved in greeting visitors, answering questions, helping with coat check, working in gift shops and possibly helping with tours for children. Working within local studios you'll work directly with people. You may have the opportunity to direct classes for people with physical and developmental disabilities or senior citizens.

Option 4: Therapeutic Riding Centre BC
Volunteers will work providing horseback riding lessons for people with disabilities. These riding lessons are highly sought after for their therapeutic value to each individual. You will assist adults and children to ride each week. Volunteer tasks would include: Assisting riders with balancing and interpreting instructor directions, Leading and exercising horses, Horse grooming, Administration of riding centre, teaching classes, etc.
