Overview

We love our volunteers!IMG_5910-2

Parkgate Community Centre is fueled by more than 300 volunteers who contribute more than 20,000 hours to their community each year! Together, they work with Parkgate staff, board and community members to make our community centre a warm, safe, and engaging space for all of our neighbours and friends.

Volunteers at Parkgate work with children, youth, adults, and seniors in all of our programs – there is truly something for everyone here!

Parkgate Summer Camps 2020 & Volunteering

We recognize that people have many questions as summer approaches. With new safety precautions we are not able to take in a large influx of summer camp volunteers this year. We have removed the application from our website and will not be hosting summer camp training. Volunteering this summer will be on a daily basis; not weekly and may be for family, senior, or youth outdoor programming. If you are still interested in volunteering this summer please fill out a regular volunteer application and email [email protected].
