Programs Volunteer - Beyou Programs

AdaptAbilities is a nonprofit organization that provides meaningful programs for children, youth, and adults with disabilities across Edmonton and St. Albert. Volunteers play an important role in helping create supportive, inclusive, and engaging environments where participants can build confidence, independence, friendships, and community connection.
Why Volunteer With Us?This opportunity is ideal for students, aspiring professionals, community members, or anyone looking to gain hands‑on experience while making a meaningful impact in the lives of others. Orientation and training are provided, and volunteers are supported throughout their experience.
The PositionWe are recruiting volunteers for our evening and weekend programs. Each program session runs for 10 weeks during the Fall, Winter, and Spring seasons across multiple respite and recreation locations in Edmonton and St. Albert.
Working alongside program employees, volunteers will:
Support participants in community‑based activities
Assist employees in providing care and supervision
Foster positive, inclusive, and meaningful interactions
Help create safe, welcoming, and supportive environments
Encourage independence, skill development, and community participation
Families rely on us for consistent and reliable care, so we are looking for volunteers who are compassionate, dependable, and committed to creating positive experiences for participants. To help provide consistency for participants and families, volunteers are asked to commit to a minimum of 6 out of the 10 weeks within the session they choose to participate in.
