Scarborough Needs You.
Volunteer with SHN Foundation.

When you volunteer with SHN Foundation, you become part of a movement to transform healthcare in one of Canada’s most vibrant and diverse communities.

Every fundraising event you support, every hour you give, brings us closer to a future where no patient in Scarborough is left behind.

Scarborough grit is what got us here—your time keeps us going.

Volunteer Opportunities

Event Volunteers

We’re always looking for energetic and organized volunteers to support SHN Foundation fundraising events throughout the year. Whether you’re greeting guests, setting up, collecting donations, or helping behind the scenes, your time has impact.
Examples: Radiothon, ZOO DAY, Sip, Shop & Celebrate

Scarborough Women of Philanthropy (SWOP)

Join a powerhouse of Scarborough women working together to raise funds, advocate for equitable healthcare, and inspire a culture of generosity and community leadership. SWOP welcomes everyone who want to lead, connect, and make a difference.
”You don’t need to be financially rich to be part of this. You give what you can—your time, talents, and treasure. And everyone’s contributions matter.”
Brenda Librecz, cancer survivor & SWOP co-chair

Charitable Gaming Shifts

For every 2-hour shift, you can raise over $1,000 for SHN. Last year Charitable Gaming volunteers raised over $175,000 for healthcare in Scarborough.

Our volunteers help make the bingo hall a friendly, comfortable place for everyone. Whether it's offering a warm welcome, keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes, or lending a hand where needed, they’re an essential part of the team.

We are looking for reliable, long-term volunteers to assist during charity sessions and represent SHN Foundation in the community at either or both of the following locations:

Your Time = Real Impact

At SHN, our hospitals serve over 800,000 people and speak more than 20 languages.

Our care is innovative—but our buildings are outdated. That’s why volunteers like you matter more than ever.

  • We perform 61,000+ surgeries in some of Ontario’s oldest ORs.
  • Our ERs see over 176,000 visits a year—built for half that.
  • Our care teams are doing more with less. Let’s give them more.
Volunteer Opportunities
Events

These opportunities typically arise on the specific days of our signature, partner, or community driven events and may involve helping with event preparation prior to the event, helping during the event, and post-event clean-up. Examples include volunteering for our annual golf classic, radiothons, or third-party events.

‍

Ongoing

This is an ongoing opportunity, where you have the freedom to select one or more shifts at either the Kennedy or Dolphin Bingo Gaming sites, based on your availability per month. Each two hour shift you complete helps raise significant amounts of funds for the hospitals
