As a non-profit organization, NBACL relies on its many volunteers to help us change lives and communities.
Whether you are volunteering on a committee, supporting a person in your community, or lending a helping hand with a special event, we value your contributions!
Who Can Volunteer
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” -Margaret Mead
From students to seniors, anyone can volunteer with NBACL. If you are looking for ways to give back to your community, or you are exploring a new career path, our goal is to connect you with the right volunteer opportunity so that you get the most from your experience. No matter where you live in New Brunswick, NBACL’s Volunteer Coordinator will connect you to the right opportunity in your community.
Why Volunteer
“It is very important to give your time to help out in the community. Much of the time you are helping other at the same time you are helping yourself.”-Dylan Shaw, NBACL Volunteer
Perhaps the better question to ask is, “Why not?” In addition to making a real difference in your community, there are many benefits to volunteering such as:
Feeling a sense of connection with your community
Learning new skills
Exploring new interests
Finding your passion
Growing your network
Building your resume
Enjoying better overall mental and physical health
If you have an hour a week, or if you are someone we can call on when we have a special project, we’ll connect you with the right opportunity.
