How to Get Involved and Volunteer

At WeSaveTheKids, we believe that change starts with each of us. Volunteering is a powerful way to make a difference in the lives of children facing health challenges. Whether you have a few hours to spare or want to commit to a longer-term role, we have opportunities for you to contribute and make a real impact. In this blog post, we’ll explore how you can get involved and volunteer with us.

Why Volunteer?

Volunteering allows you to connect with your community while supporting a great cause. By giving your time and skills, you help ensure that children receive the medical care they need. Volunteering not only benefits others but can also be incredibly rewarding for you. It’s an opportunity to learn new skills, meet like-minded individuals, and feel a sense of fulfillment by making a difference.

Types of Volunteer Opportunities

We offer various volunteer opportunities to match different skills and interests. Here are some ways you can get involved:

  1. Event Volunteering
    Throughout the year, WeSaveTheKids hosts events to raise funds and awareness for SickKids Foundation. As a volunteer, you can help with event planning, registration, set-up, and clean-up. You might also assist with activities during the event, such as coordinating games or handing out refreshments. Whether it’s a charity run, bake sale, or community festival, your efforts will contribute to making these events a success.
  2. Fundraising Support
    If you enjoy organizing, consider leading your own fundraising campaign. You can create your event or join an existing campaign. We can assist you with resources and guidance to help you reach your goals. Fundraising helps provide essential care for children, and every effort counts!
  3. Administration and Outreach
    If you have skills in administration, we can use your support! Help with tasks like data entry, social media promotion, or outreach to potential sponsors. These behind-the-scenes efforts are vital for keeping our organization running smoothly and effectively.
  4. Sharing Your Talents
    Are you a skilled artist, musician, or teacher? We welcome volunteers who can share their talents with our community. Consider hosting workshops or performances to engage and inspire others, especially children. Your unique skills can provide a fun and educational experience for everyone involved.
