Get Involved as a volunteer

Canterbury Neighbourhood Centre thrives because of our incredible volunteers!

Whether you have a little time or a lot, your skills and energy can make a real difference in our community.

We’re currently looking for volunteers to join us in these roles:

Chatty Cafe Facilitators ( Wednesdays and Fridays) - Love a good conversation? Help create a welcoming space where people can drop in, have a cuppa, and enjoy friendly chats with new friends.

Class Facilitators & Skill Sharers - Do you have a skill, passion, or hobby you'd love to share? Whether it's art, languages, technology, or something unique, we’d love to hear your ideas!

Your involvement can be a few hours each issue, 4 times a year or write an article or help in many other ways.
