Volunteer
The fact is we wouldn’t exist without the support and dedication of volunteers.
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.
Even though our office is in Calgary, we have volunteer opportunities available across the province. This includes virtual roles as well as 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 in our province. You'll get to make an impact in your community and meet new people.
Exciting things are happening at Sagesse, and we’d love you to get involved!
