Volunteers are at the heart of Shelter Movers. By sharing your time, skills and compassion, you can play a meaningful role in helping survivors of abuse transition to safer futures.
We take great pride in our volunteer community and hold our work to the highest standards of safety, professionalism and trauma-informed care. To provide the best possible service to survivors, all volunteers complete a careful screening and onboarding process, which includes an: interview with our team, criminal record screening, and required orientation and trauma-informed safety training.
Shelter Movers is committed to an inclusive and accessible volunteer experience. Accommodations are available throughout the recruitment, screening, training and volunteer process in accordance with applicable accessibility and human rights legislation. If you require accommodation for your interview or another part of the process, simply indicate in your application that you would like to make a confidential accommodation request.
