Volunteering

On most days our office, located on East Hastings Street, Vancouver, has many volunteers helping us. We have opportunities for part time volunteering positions.

 

Some volunteers are professionals who would like to give their experience to others while helping the community.

Others are students, recent graduates and newly-trained professionals who are trying to get local experience in their field. All volunteers are the backbone of Pivot.

"Pivot is doing the work for all of us, tackling the toughest issues and needs of our times. They deserve all the support we can give them."

Joel Solomon, President, Renewal Partners
