Volunteer

Interested in volunteering?  We’re looking for passionate and committed individuals who are a part of or allied with the English-speaking 2SLGBTQIA+ community to join our diverse team!

Why volunteer?

  • Make a difference in the lives of queer and trans youth.
  • Connect with a good cause and give back to the community.
  • Fulfill your passion for education on gender and sexuality through a lens of compassion and understanding.
  • Learn new skills and experience personal growth/satisfaction.
  • Gain marketable, job-related skills.
  • Have fun, meet new people, make friends, network.

To volunteer with the SILK program, all volunteers are required to fulfill a comprehensive, three weekend day, in-person training course on workshop facilitation and classroom management.  We value diversity and encourage members of traditionally underrepresented groups to volunteer.

Candidates will also be asked to meet for an interview over Zoom to ensure a good fit.

The next workshop facilitator training will take place in the November 2026. If you are interested in volunteering with us, please complete the following questionnaire (it will require uploading a copy of your CV): https://forms.gle/nj9E1C19CJ4X3Etw8.

*Since we work with youth, we ask that all volunteers complete a background check through the SPVM.
