Your time, energy and ideas are valuable. When you volunteer with the YMCA, you'll get the satisfaction of knowing you are helping people and gaining experience that can benefit your own personal goals.
We offer a wide range of opportunities to match your passion, skills and availability. You might lead an exercise class, participate in our sports leagues as a coach or referee, mentor young people, fundraise, produce a special event, or get involved with local issues. No matter what you do, you'll make a positive impact on the lives of people in your community.
A wide range of volunteer opportunities are available with the Vancouver Botanical Gardens Association, both at VanDusen Botanical Garden and Bloedel Conservatory. Each year, approximately 850 volunteers contribute their time and talents in education, visitor experience, governance, administration, fundraising and special events. Volunteers are pivotal to enhancing visitors’ learning and engagement experience and contributing to our mandate to connect people to plants and help them understand their role in Earth’s ecosystems.
The mission of VanDusen Botanical Garden and Bloedel Conservatory is to engage people of all ages and walks of life in the importance of biodiversity to our lives, and to foster a lifelong love of plants and gardens by virtue of their participation in our programs and services. We’re excited that you are interested in volunteering to be a part of this mission.
