Volunteer

Making a positive difference

Kids Kottage relies on the important work of our volunteers to help make what we do possible. We welcome volunteers in a variety of roles including as:

baby cuddlers
play pals for kids
housekeeping
cooking
administrative support
handyman roles
drivers
event help
fundraising
and more!

NOTE: As part of the process and because we work directly with vulnerable children, all our individual volunteers need to be cleared through a Criminal Record Check and a Child Intervention Check to be eligible to be a volunteer.

Application

If you need help with the volunteer application process, or for any questions or concerns, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator at 780-371-3239 or email volunteer.coordinator@kidskottage.org for more information.

Here is the Crim check link through Edmonton Police: https://www.policesolutions.ca/checks/services/edmonton/index.php

You will have to register and make an account first. When filling out the information for the check, ensure you select ‘with Vulnerable Sector’, then it will be emailed back to you at a later date. Note there is a fee for this one. The website automatically reduces the fee for volunteers but a letter can be made available if you need it.
