ReStore Volunteers:

We are always looking for volunteers to help in our ReStores. We have two ReStore locations in Greater Victoria - Victoria and Westshore. Our ReStores are open 7 days a week with different shifts to suit your schedule. There are so many ways to volunteer at the ReStore. Volunteers help with receiving and sorting donations, assisting customers, stocking shelves, merchandising the store floor and so much more!

Volunteer Ambassadors:
Open a Door Charity Art Auction

Local artists and creators have volunteered their time and talent to Habitat Victoria’s 3rd Annual Open a Door Charity Art Auction. One-of-a-kind artistic creations will be displayed at Mayfair Shopping Centre and art lovers and community members can bid in the online auction to own a unique creation. Volunteer Ambassadors are on hand at the display in Mayfair Shopping Centre to greet visitors, offer information about the auction, and encourage people to bid to own their favourite pieces.   Perfect for people who enjoy connecting with others, enjoy local art, and have a desire to give back to your community.

Volunteer Ushers:
HarbourCats Baseball Summer Partnership

Habitat Victoria has partnered again with the Victoria HarbourCats Baseball Club. Through this partnership we create community visibility and raise funds for Habitat's mission to help local families achieve affordable homeownership.

Volunteers help at HarbourCats home games by acting as ushers - helping attendees find their seats, offer directions within the park, control foot traffic, and cheer for the home team.

Take yourself out to the ballgame if you like being outdoors, enjoy the camaraderie of sports, and have been looking for a fun way to give back to you community.  May 31 - Aug 6, 2025.  19+.  

BONUS! - HarbourCats host a wrap up party for volunteers who attend multiple shifts.
