SOY's volunteers are key to the success of our work in the community and we deeply appreciate their amazing experience and talent and their contributions of so much time and phenomenal energy! Why not think about joining them?

We are essentially a volunteer-run project with staff support, and each year volunteers contribute thousands of hours to SOY programs and activities, and play a major role in initiating, developing and implementing activities. At any one time, there are approximately two hundred volunteers involved, reflecting the spectrum of our LGBTT communities in terms of age, class, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, and with a rich diversity of skills and experience.

As a volunteer with SOY, you will have the opportunity to meet new people with whom you can share your knowledge and skills, as well as the opportunity to experience new challenges and acquire new skills. You will also be helping to foster community development, youth engagement and provide valuable supports and mentoring to youth.

There are many ways to get involved. Click here for descriptions of the various volunteer roles at SOY. If there are other ways in which you would like to contribute, or a role that you feel is needed but not listed, feel free to direct your ideas to SOY staff.
