Be the change in your community. Communities need your help and support! Volunteering allows us to participate in nurturing our environment. It brings people together — wherever you choose to volunteer: at festivals and special events, in schools or hospitals, on playing fields, and in board rooms — for good reasons and common purposes. It develops within us an understanding of people who are different: people with disabilities, people in financial distress, children, or the elderly. It allows us to give of ourselves, share our wealth, and express our human values of community and caring, while finding solutions to shared challenges. Volunteering helps us build stronger and healthier communities.
Volunteering provides each of us with unique benefits. Some of us volunteer to help build stronger communities, while others want to improve their skills and discover new routes to personal and professional development. Volunteers come from all walks of life, age groups, cultures, abilities, and backgrounds. Whatever your reason for volunteering, you will be rewarded with a fulfilling and meaningful experience.
We hope that as you commit your time, energy and yourself to the City of Burnaby “Festivals in the Park” volunteer program, you will gain great personal satisfaction. More than anything, we want you to enjoy your volunteer experiences and have fun!
Your dedication and commitment to community-building is very much appreciated.

"I think one of the things that I like most about dance is that it’s another language and I like that its not the language we use everyday."
