Many caring volunteers assist in the work of Yonge Street Mission. In the process of helping to change the lives of others, our volunteers often find that their lives are changed, too.

VOLUNTEERING
Yonge Street Mission welcomes volunteers in a wide variety of areas throughout the year. We have opportunities for individuals, groups and student placements. Please check our website for our current volunteer opportunities here (Urgent Volunteer Needs and General Volunteer Opportunities) or pick up an opportunities list from our reception desk at 270 or 306 Gerrard Street East. You’ll be certain to find an opportunity that appeals to you and if not check back often as we are constantly updating our needs.

To find out how you, as an individual, can make a difference in our community, contact Ruth Pentinga, Director of Volunteer Resources, at 416-929-9614, ext. 4236 or rpentinga@ysm.ca

We are grateful for our volunteers, who partner with us to work for peace, dignity and justice, and function as highly visible role models within our communities. Each year, we rely on more than 3,000 volunteers to assist with programs, meals, tutoring, mentoring, after-school clubs, health care, building maintenance, day camps and a wide variety of other seasonal and special events. Volunteers make an incredible difference in our ability to provide effective programs to the community. We are most grateful to each individual and group who gives their time and talents to make a difference in YSM’s communities.
