We wouldn’t exist without the support and dedication of volunteers.
Domestic abuse is a serious problem in our community, with one in three Canadians experiencing abuse in their lifetimes. As a volunteer, this is an opportunity to make a real impact in the lives of those who need it most.
At Sagesse, we use a peer-support model, which means that our programs are facilitated by volunteers. We also have volunteers who work in a variety of other roles to help support our mission and vision.
That’s why we offer a variety of ways for people to get involved in disrupting the structures of domestic abuse across Alberta.
We have volunteer opportunities available across Alberta, including virtual and in-person opportunities, to make a direct impact in your own community.
All our volunteer opportunities include in-depth training, so that you can learn new information, develop new skills, and gain valuable experience.
Everyone who volunteers with Sagesse deeply believes in the power of working together to disrupt the structures of abuse. You'll get to make an impact in your community and meet new people.
As part of our volunteer team, you will bring a compassionate and non-judgmental attitude, good communication and listening skills, an ability to maintain confidentiality and respect boundaries and a willingness to learn and participate in training.
