Learn, grow and create change: volunteer with Out on Campus!

***These events are taking place on Musqueam, Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh, and Sto:lo territories.***

We are the LGBATQ+ center on campus. We are committed to resisting all forms of discrimination and oppression, as well as celebrating the wide diversity of communities that LGBATQ+ folks represent. Check out our Mission, Vision and Values to find out more about us!

We are also a volunteer-driven organization. Our volunteer program is tailored to suit your interests. Choose what you want to do, and build skills and make connections doing it!

Step 1: Attend an Orientation
Step 2: Attend All Volunteer Training Day
Step 3: Choose a Volunteer Team
Step 4: Complete a Supplementary Training
(Note: Supplementary Training can be completed before/alongside the other steps)
