A Committed Team of Volunteers
Volunteer Opportunities
Mentoring, coaching, and walking alongside young people as they explore faith in Jesus and mature in life is at the heart of YU’s desire to live out wholistic transformation. As you listen to, care for, and helpfully support youth in our programs, not only will our young people flourish, but you will learn and grow too! As a volunteer, you can be a youth worker in one of our community outreach programs across the city, in a formal coaching relationship with a young Christian leader, as part of a service project, or many other potential places.
Our young parents programs across the city provide a unique opportunity to support young dads and moms in being a transformative presence in their homes and communities. In these programs, you can support through group interactions, one-on-one mentoring, and childcare during programming times.
Whether it’s on the court, doing a weights session after school, or working on artwork, your consistent presence in our activity or sports programs helps create safe spaces for our young people, and it is an amazing gateway to building long-term relationships of trust and care.
Youth Unlimited has always been committed to going where young people are. Some of our programming includes intentional street outreach to young people experiencing homelessness or young women facing exploitative circumstances. Your participation as part of a street or parlour outreach team brings comfort, hope, and tangible help to these young friends whom we love.
It’s not all about frontline work! In order to reach young people across the city, we need a great team of people serving behind the scenes in a variety of supporting roles. This could include joining our prayer team, providing clerical assistance with mailings and other front office work, shooting photos of our various programs, and helping run fundraising or other events throughout the year. Everyone has a place where they can meaningfully impact the youth of Toronto!
