The City of Richmond regularly posts short and long-term volunteer opportunities including those at cultural festivals, celebrations and heritage sites at icanhelp.richmond.ca. When you register, you can request to receive updates specific to your interests.
Cultural facilities like the Richmond Art Gallery, Gateway Theatre and Richmond Arts Centre have volunteer positions as well.
Many of our annual events also benefit from volunteer assistance, such as Culture Days, Richmond Arts Awards and Children’s Arts Festival.
Richmond Cares, Richmond Gives also posts plenty of great local volunteer opportunities.
The arts, especially not-for-profit organizations, benefit greatly from the passion and dedication that volunteers bring. It is essential that we support and nourish our volunteer sector, to ensure that the sector remains strong, sustainable and adaptable to the needs of our community.
