Volunteer

Normally, our application phase takes place through November – January for Core Volunteer Positions.

During this time, we will check in with current volunteers and their capacity and recruit for new volunteers as needed.

We may hold on to submitted applications for up to 6 months, in-case there are shifts in capacity.

An application may also be permanently deleted upon request in a 24 hour period.

For those who are applying for a volunteer role for the first time, there will normally be a selection process where applications will be shortlisted.

We will hold interviews with those selected from our shortlist based on the application, and usually takes place in February or March

For applicants who are shortlisted, a representative of Kind Space will reach-out to you to schedule an interview. You will be sent some questions ahead of time, in preparation of your interview.

You will have a follow-up interview upon successful application to a volunteer role, to discuss access needs, scheduling and dream mapping.
