Volunteer with West Coast Kids Cancer Foundation
Our volunteers are the backbone of everything we do. They make it possible for WCK to deliver our mission of timely, practical support to families navigating childhood cancer and blood disorders across the province.
Whether it’s packing food boxes, hanging out with kids, or helping us grow our organization – every minute of volunteering with WCK helps a family feel supported and cared for. Check out some of the roles below to learn more about what we're looking for and our application process.
We intake new volunteers into any open roles once a month to ensure we are intentional with your time. Our volunteers bring an array of skills and volunteering with us looks different for each person.
Most of our roles require volunteers to be 19+ and be available during business hours. However, we are always looking for people who want to share their skills with WCK and welcome the opportunity to chat with you. Please reach out to our Volunteer Coordinator if you would like more information before submitting an application. Below are some examples of volunteer roles at WCK. Scroll further down to look for roles that are currently open.

Volunteers are important in supporting our food programs so families can be nourished at the hospital and all across the province.
