Volunteering at The AIDS Network

The strength of The AIDS Network lies in the commitment and services provided by the efforts of our dedicated volunteers. Without volunteers, we would be challenged to continue providing the broad scope of Support and Harm Reduction Services and extensive Educational Outreach that we offer.

It’s also a great way to meet new people and develop new skills.

Becoming a Volunteer

All volunteers must attend a general orientation about The AIDS Network’s services, volunteer roles, and responsibilities. The orientation also provides basic education on HIV & AIDS, as well as harm reduction.

Our open Volunteer Orientation and Information sessions take place every other month.  You can attend in-person or via Zoom.

Volunteers who have applied via our online volunteer application form (below) will be contacted with the details of the next scheduled orientation. Depending on your area of interest, further program specific training is provided as needed.

All volunteers must agree to protect client confidentiality and accept in principle the current Mission Statement, Values, Objectives and Goals as set out in our Constitution. Volunteer positions involving direct client contact require a Volunteer Vulnerable Sector Police Check.

Need more information?

Join one of our volunteer orientation sessions, which are held every other month. You can also fill out our application form, and you will be contacted with details on the next upcoming orientation once it has been scheduled.
