Volunteer

Childminders are regularly needed throughout the YWCA to enable our program participants and members of our Housing Communities to be able to attend meetings, sessions and workshops. We are working to develop a list of potential Childminders that could be contacted when needed. 

You would be asked to assist with watching and entertaining small groups of children of various ages on an as needed basis in your area, according to your availability and interest.

YWCA housing communities provide safe and affordable homes for single women and their dependent children. Residents have access to other YWCA programs and services, and a foundation to move towards health, well-being and economic stability. They are located across Metro Vancouver. 

Come out and volunteer with us as Vancouver Triathlon celebrates its 20th year! Proceeds from the race support YWCA Metro Vancouver.

Please refer to volunteer position descriptions below to see what is needed and how you can help. If you have a preference for a particular volunteer role, we will do our best to accommodate. However, volunteers may be reassigned on the day, due to changes in turnout.

YWCA Como Lake Gardens provides affordable housing for single mothers and their children in Coquitlam.
