Canada’s largest Indigenous Youth conference is coming to Kamloops March 18-21, 2025! The BC Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres is looking for volunteers to help make Gathering Our Voices 2025 a success.

Volunteers must be:

• Over 18 years old

• Able to commit to a minimum of two shifts

• Able to provide a clean criminal record check

• Looking to contribute to a fun and exciting event for Indigenous youth

Volunteers share their skills, passion, experience, and they send youth a powerful message — that they are worthy of our time and energy. Volunteering at GOV is a great way to gain new skills to add to your resume and meet new people! Volunteers are also invited to BCAAFC’s Volunteer Appreciation Dinner on March 19.
