WORK THAT MATTERS
Why volunteer with us
Put your skills to use
Whatever you're trained in — trades, engineering, sewing, admin — there's a project that needs it.
See direct impact
Every build goes to a real person with a real need. You'll see exactly who your work helps.
Join a community
Work alongside other volunteers who care about the same thing you do.
If you have any questions, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator: jheel.madiyar@abilityworkshop.ca
