Volunteer or Intern with SOS

We do not offer international volunteer opportunities. Our programs around the world are operated by local staff who are hired and trained within the communities we serve. This approach ensures culturally relevant, long-term care and support for children and families. 

In Canada, our primary need is for volunteers to support fundraising and awareness activities. This includes:
 

- Organizing local fundraising events

- Hosting community awareness campaigns

- Coordinating workplace giving drives

- Running birthday or holiday campaigns

If you’re creative, passionate about child rights, and eager to engage your community, we’d love to hear from you! Learn more about how to organize an event.

Yes! Many of our volunteer fundraising efforts can be organized virtually or from home. Whether it’s a digital fundraiser, a social media campaign, or a peer-to-peer giving drive, you can make a difference from anywhere.
 

At this time, we do not have ongoing volunteer opportunities at our Ottawa office. However, we occasionally post short-term or project-based roles as they become available. We encourage you to follow us on social media or check back on this page regularly for any future opportunities to get involved.

We do not have a formal internship program, but we occasionally offer placements for students who need credits to graduate. These opportunities are often in areas related to fundraising, such as digital marketing, prospect research, and donor engagement. Positions may be remote and are open to candidates across Canada, depending on our current capacity and project alignment. If you're interested, please contact us with your resume and area of interest.

There are many other ways to support our mission:
 

- Become a monthly donor

- Sponsor a child or village

- Share our content on social media

Every action helps us build brighter futures for children and families.
