Volunteering is a Work of Heart!
The willingness of volunteers to partner with HIV Edmonton in our mission to make life better for people living with, or affected by HIV and AIDS, will always be a source of encouragement to our team!
Volunteering is more than the giving of your time; it is the exchanging of experiences.

- Give back to the community.
- Enrich your CV with meaningful community involvement.
Volunteering with us can look like a few different things:

- Tabling at events around Edmonton to help raise awareness about HIV
- Doing administrative tasks like data entry
