  • Must be at least 23 years (or older) of age and
  • Able to commit to a minimum of 2 hours per week for a minimum of 1 year
  • Must pass a background check + LiveScan (even if you’ve had one done before, for example at your current place of employment, you will need to complete another one that is specific to Casa Youth Shelter)

Volunteer positions may have a set schedule depending on the needs of the shelter or the availability of the volunteer. Some positions are on-call.
