Our volunteers
Every ShelterBox Canada volunteer is instrumental in providing shelter to families after disaster, wherever they are in the world.
We are proud and grateful to have such a talented, passionate, and committed group of people as our volunteers. They generously give us their skills, knowledge and time and are vital members of the ShelterBox family.
I believe everyone should feel the safety and comfort of their own space. I am honoured to be a part of an organization that goes above and beyond to help people that have been displaced by disaster or conflict.
Laura Melnick, ShelterBox volunteer
ShelterBox Canada board members and volunteers, Steve Kicinski and Alex Draper.

Why volunteer with ShelterBox?
Our volunteers support our work towards a future where no one is without shelter after disaster.
Some volunteers help raise awareness of our work through presentations and at events. Volunteers can also help support fundraising campaigns and support fundraising events.
We want our volunteers to feel rewarded for supporting us! Our volunteers will get to connect with like-minded people. We also give training and support, and valuable work experience. With volunteering, you can have flexible experience, choosing a role to suit you. And we’ll check to make sure you’re satisfied, and see what more we can do to enhance the experience.
ShelterBox Canada volunteer, Bill Evans.
