Volunteer

From answer­ing our 24 Hour Sup­port Line, sit­ting on cen­tre com­mit­tees and vol­un­teer­ing at events, last year vol­un­teers con­tributed over 11,000 hours to the centre.

How to volunteer

There is lots of excit­ing and reward­ing work to be done at SACHA

Women and non-binary volunteers answer SACHA’s Support Line outside of SACHA's office hours from their homes. A sixteen-week training is provided after a short screening process.

For more information on becoming a support line volunteer check out this Information Package. You can apply using this Application Form, or contact the Coordinator at rachel@sacha.ca with any additional questions. Our next volunteer training cycle will be held in the evenings in Fall 2025.

Management Committee is part of SACHA's governance structure and operates similarly to a Board of Directors within our modified collective.

Help SACHA to make decisions on how the centre is run and how we engage in our work.

If you are interested in volunteering on Management Committee please contact Peggy - SACHA's Management Committee Chair through our contact form.

If you are interested in joining the Fundraising Committee, please contact us.

Take Back the Night an annual community event happening on the third Thursday of September. It is a powerful opportunity for survivors and allies to build connections, reclaim our right to safety, and courageously stand up against violence in our community.

Each year we rely on incred­i­ble TBTN vol­un­teers to make the event a huge suc­cess! Vol­un­teer appli­ca­tions are now open and close on Sep­tem­ber 2nd. Vol­un­teers can be of any gen­der age 18+. We are look­ing for sup­port at the event in roles such as tabling sup­port, march mar­shals, and set-up & take-down roles. Vol­un­teers must be able to attend a full day train­ing on Sun­day Sep­tem­ber 7th at the YWCA to be trained in de-esca­la­­tion, anti-racism, anti-oppres­­sion, event logis­tics, and role spe­cif­ic instruc­tions. There will be vol­un­teer oppor­tu­ni­ties on the day of TBTN(Sept 18th) from 2pm — 11:30pm with flex­i­ble shift lengths but we ask that you can com­mit to at least 3 hours of vol­un­teer­ing at TBTN.
