Welcome to Volunteer NS
Volunteer NS is a province-wide service that connects people looking for the right volunteer opportunity to non-profit organizations looking for skilled volunteers.
Find a COVID-19 volunteer opportunity
In times of great need, many Nova Scotians want to find ways to help. Volunteer NS has opportunities for you to volunteer in your community while still following the public health directives put in place to keep you safe.
Organizations in need of volunteers
Are you a not-for-profit organization assisting in the COVID-19 response effort to help vulnerable Nova Scotians? Do you need help? VolunteerNS.ca has set up a special Covid-19 response page for organizations and volunteers who want to assist in the relief effort. Create your profile here.
Volunteer-from-home opportunities
There are lots of ways to give back without even leaving your home.
Find future volunteer opportunities
There are many volunteer opportunities that have been suspended due to COVID-19. Search here for volunteer opportunities that will resume once COVID-19 related health measures have been lifted.
Your safety is important to us
Maintaining a social distance of 2 meters or 6 feet is required under the Health Protection Act Order – and is the best way to manage community spread of COVID-19. Volunteer opportunities posted here must adhere to this directive.
We encourage everyone to stay up-to-date with the latest public health information through Nova Scotia’s COVID-19 site, as well as Volunteer Canada’s COVID-19 site.
