Volunteer

At Start Me Up Niagara, we value and appreciate our volunteers!

Working Together

Volunteers play an important role in the functionality of Start Me Up Niagara. We encourage anyone with the time and interest in volunteering to reach out to us about what opportunities exist when we are able to accept new Volunteers. 

We welcome our own participants along with community members to be a part of the team. 

Volunteering for Start Me Up means you can make a real difference — not just in the lives of others, but in your own life journey as well. While the time volunteers dedicate help us to fulfill our commitment of providing support to individuals facing significant life challenges, many volunteers also find meaning for themselves in giving back, learning new skills and building connections in their community.

Without our dedicated team of volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to offer the programs and activities participants have come to count on. 

Kits for a Cause Care Kit Program

Looking for an engaging corporate/group volunteering or team building activity? Why not make a difference through our Kits program.

Help assemble essential kits for our clients experiencing homelessness with our Start Me Up Niagara Kits for a Cause Program. Whether you're volunteering with friends, colleagues, or on your own, your contribution directly impacts our community.
