Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Edmonton Social Planning Council. At the moment, we are undergoing a considerable transition and it will take us some time before we are able to connect with volunteers meaningfully. Volunteer opportunities will likely be made available again starting January 2026. We recommend subscribing to our communications list to stay updated.
In the meantime, feel free to review the past volunteer descriptions below to get an idea for what may be available in the future.
