How to Become a JBCC Volunteer

  1. Email Kelly Hardman , Coordinator of Volunteer Services, or call 604-982-8314 to schedule an interview.
  2. Before the interview, download our VolunteerApplication.pdf (32k). You will require Adobe Acrobat Reader to view this document. Download a free copy of the Adobe application. Fill out the application and bring it with you to your interview.
  3. At the interview, we will discuss your availability, your interests and potential volunteering opportunities. Our Coordinator of Volunteer Services will then determine the most appropriate volunteer placement.
  4. If a suitable volunteering opportunity is available, you will need to obtain a Criminal Record Check. A criminal record check is required for all volunteers (special event and project volunteers may be exempt). North Vancouver residents will receive the appropriate form from the Coordinator of Volunteer Services.
  5. Once the Coordinator has successfully completed a reference check and received the results of your Criminal Record Check, they will schedule an on-site orientation, which will include the responsibilities of the volunteer position and any training that may be required.
