Volunteer Benefits

Food for thought

Count on us for nourishment at all our events. Meals are provided during signature events and shifts over 5 hours. For shorter shifts, enjoy snacks and refreshments. We respect your time with flexible shifts, ensuring you can savour our events while supporting a great cause

OSSD + CO-OP

Volunteering with us is an ideal way to fulfill Ontario Secondary School Diploma placement hours or enhance your resume. Long-term volunteers with exceptional dedication will receive reference letters. All volunteers receive a York Pride shirt, and rainbow lanyard badge, and may receive additional branded gear depending on their role. Additionally, students have the opportunity to complete a co-op at the festival, gaining valuable hands-on experience in event management and community engagement.

Incentives+

We aim to foster a warm, supportive, and inclusive atmosphere where our members thrive. York Pride is committed to acknowledging our team's efforts and motivating them to excel. Thanks to our partnerships, volunteers can expect periodic care packages as tokens of gratitude for their dedication and contributions. Volunteers can also enjoy 45% off all YP merchandise.

Meaningful Connections.

Whether you're an introvert or extrovert, there's a place for you here. We'll pair you with the perfect team and mentor to maximize your experience at our events. In a tech-driven world, it's easy to overlook the joy of forging new connections. Volunteering with us offers a chance for something new in your life—and you never know who might become your friend. Better yet, you never know whose life you'll positively impact.
