Volunteer
Founded by a group of volunteers, they are an essential part of the work that we do at ACT. Dynamic, community-rooted positions available.
Volunteer Program Update
ACT appreciates the contributions of all our volunteers. The global pandemic has impacted our programming, and to ensure the safety of you, service users, and staff we have limited volunteer opportunities at this time.
Current volunteers: please connect with your staff supervisor by phone or email if you have any questions. Staff will be regularly checking their voicemail and their email remotely and will respond in a timely manner.

There are three steps to becoming a volunteer at ACT:
Step One: Attend a Volunteer Information Session. Learn more about ACT’s programs, services, and fundraising events, to hear about volunteer opportunities and to find out what is involved in becoming a volunteer. A Volunteer Information Session can be booked with the Volunteer Resources Coordinator (click here to schedule a time).
Step Two: For volunteers who are interested in working in the area of programs or service delivery, the Volunteer Resources Coordinator will meet with you individually. This interview ensures a good match between what you are looking for in a volunteer opportunity and what ACT has to offer.
Step Three: Following the interview, you will be registered for Core Skills Training. Volunteers must complete 24 hours of Core Skills Training and receive a Certificate of Completion. Additional training will be required in various program-specific areas.
To find out more about volunteering, contact Melanie Castillo, the Volunteer Resources Coordinator by phone at 416-340-8484 ext. 238 or email mcastillo@actoronto.org.
