Victoria Youth Empowerment Society – To provide youth with a drop-in, low barrier, and safe environment to gain volunteer hours. Youth simply need to show up and we will verify that they have completed 1 hour or more of volunteer hours and provide a reference for their resume. We will also be running free certifications on Pro-D days like Foodsafe and First Aid and CPR-C. Our first Volunteer Opportunity is this Thursday Nov 21st from 330-530 in our Youth Connections Space at 533 Yates St. Youth will be writing letters and/or creating art to send to care homes in the Greater Victoria Area. Snacks will be provided. If youth cannot make it downtown, they can write a letter or make some art on their own time and send us a physical copy at 533 Yates St and still receive 1 hour of volunteering.
Greater Victoria Green Team – No experience is needed; all ages and abilities are invited! Come for as long as you like. Instructions, gloves, tools, and delicious snacks are all provided!

Big Brothers Big Sisters – In-School Mentoring is a program that runs throughout the school year on an on-going basis. Each Volunteer Teen Mentor (14 years old and up) is paired with a child (Kindergarten to Grade 5) at a nearby elementary school. Mentors and mentees spend one hour together once per week at the school, connecting and sharing their interests, playing games and sports, doing arts and crafts, etc. Our team provides training and support for mentors, as well as activity ideas and supplies for visits.
