Ghost River Rediscovery Society honours all those individuals who have an interest in working with us as volunteer. We recognize that individuals choose to volunteer for a variety of reasons and interests. Our goal is to offer you personal and/or professional growth opportunities through the Rediscovery experience. Our volunteer program is designed to meet the needs of our youth and volunteers in a mutually respectful and good way.

Volunteers at Ghost River Rediscovery offer their time for a number of activities including;

• spending time working in the office,
• putting up and tearing down camps,
• craft workshops,
• billeting and hosting youth from all over the world
• driving when needed
• general fundraising activities
• special events such as major fundraisers and Powwows

Aboriginal Awareness education is offered to our volunteers as well as opportunities to experience Aboriginal culture in a unique way through traditional ceremonies and events.

Professional growth in the area of youth education and outdoor leadership offers opportunities to work with youth in a variety of inter-personal experiences. This may include spending time with youth during the New Directions – Ancient Pathways program, special events or other youth group activities.

Our Billeting Program offers an opportunity for volunteers to connect with youth from all over Canada and the world. Sharing time and space creates a cross-cultural experience unique to Ghost River Rediscovery through our International Programs

Ghost River Rediscovery’s involvement with youth requires that we have a comprehensive risk management program which recognizes the inherent and potential risks that our participants may encounter during our programs. In order to ensure participant, staff and volunteer welfare and safety, Ghost River Rediscovery requires its staff and volunteers to undergo two security clearance checks before we can consider an offer of employment or acceptance into our volunteer program. Please see details of security clearance

A Police Information Check (PIC) and a Child Welfare Information System Check (Intervention Record Check) will allow Ghost River Rediscovery to determine the level of risk that a volunteer applicant brings to the organization and weigh that information against our responsibility as an organization. The forms are available at our office – please feel free to drop by or call ahead.
