Volunteer Opportunities
Breeder Carer – CNIB Guide Dogs
Volunteers are a critical part of our guide dog program, and we’re always in need of volunteer puppy raisers and boarders. With support from CNIB Guide Dogs staff, you would play a vital role in bringing future CNIB guide dogs into the world by caring for one of our adult dogs from 12 months of age through the end of their breeding career, as well as supporting whelping and the early socialization of puppies up to 12 weeks old.
Community Engagement Volunteer – Unsupervised
From classrooms to city hall or speaking to businesses, our Community Engagement Volunteers provide public education and advocacy to help raise awareness about key issues facing the sight loss community and create positive change for people who are blind or partially sighted. Unsupervised Community Engagement Volunteers attend community events and give presentations on behalf of CNIB without direct supervision of CNIB staff and are screened to attend engagements at settings with vulnerable populations (i.e school settings, seniors homes etc).
