Individual Volunteer

Thank you for your interest in the Scott Mission!

Our volunteers play a big role in many of our ministries, and are vital to the meaningful impact we have in transforming lives within our community.

Please note that there is a process to becoming an individual volunteer.
This includes:

Reviewing your application
Conducting an interview
Reviewing references (and, where applicable, a criminal reference)
Providing you with an orientation.
The length of time varies depending on the season and the volume of applications that are submitted.

Volunteer placements are subject to availability and we will follow-up where needs match.
We appreciate your patience and understanding during this process but are confident that, once on board, you will have a fulfilling volunteer experience with us.

Scott Mission acknowledges that their work happens in the ancestral traditional territories of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples.

We acknowledge that the Toronto sites of Scott Mission are covered by treaty 13 signed with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands. In giving this acknowledgement we remind ourselves that we are accountable to these relationships.
