【British Lion Volunteers】Recruiting young volunteers for the Toronto Museum of History

Volunteer Type

Special Events

At special events, volunteers will be responsible for welcoming visitors, leading activities, and assisting staff with setting up stations. You will also be involved in event set-up and clean-up. Specific duties will vary from event to event to ensure that every event is fresh and new.

"Weekly Program"

Weekly volunteer activities will allow you to develop new skills in practice while interacting with your peers and deepening your understanding and connection to the community. Different activities and themes change with the seasons, and young volunteers have the opportunity to interact directly with the public, contribute their own efforts to activate museum spaces, and assist in the development of museum programs.

Summer Camp

If you participate in the summer camp program, you will have the opportunity to interact with campers and assist staff in organizing activities, setting up venues, and cleaning up. To ensure the safety of all volunteers, museum staff will conduct mandatory vulnerable group screening for volunteers and require them to complete additional camp-specific training.

Special Projects

In addition to regular volunteer activities, you can also choose to participate in other volunteer projects in person or online, contribute ideas to the museum's exhibitions, take on leadership roles in the community, and more.

Time Commitment

In order to ensure that volunteers can adapt to the work content, we will provide each volunteer with two hours of training. In terms of time arrangement, volunteers' shifts are usually arranged on weekends, school holidays, some evenings and summer weekdays, and the shift selection is flexible. There is currently no minimum time commitment, you can participate according to your own schedule.
