Volunteer Positions / Internship Positions

Anawim is looking for permanent and casual volunteers to fill various roles. We are a not-for-profit society that places helping those that are less fortunate as it’s primary goal. We provide meals, showers, laundry and a place to call home for people on a daily basis, while in a sober environment. We are currently entering our twenty-fifth year and with that are looking to step up to the challenge of providing more services, programs and assistance to Victoria’s most vulnerable population. We need your help…

We depend heavily upon our volunteers to make the unique environment of Anawim work. Whether you are looking to volunteer once a month, once a week or to do a full-time internship, we want to hear from you. Below is a list of immediate needs that we have; however, we are open to hearing about your skills and what you could bring to the home:
