Volunteers play an integral role in delivering our promise of finding cures for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis and improving the lives of Canadians living with these chronic diseases. As a volunteer with Crohn’s and Colitis Canada, the impact of your efforts will be felt by the millions of Canadians affected by Crohn's or colitis today, and for years to come.
We are seeking individuals who are passionate about making a difference in their community to join our team of dedicated volunteers in the role of Chapter Volunteer- Sudbury.
This role involves in-person interactions. Crohn’s and Colitis Canada encourages volunteers and community members to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as defined by their local or provincial Public Health authorities. We take the health, safety and well-being of our volunteers seriously, especially in light of the fact that people with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis may have compromised immune systems, which is why we continue to follow the guidance of local Public Health authorities.
As a volunteer, you will collaborate with like-minded individuals to help plan patient support and fundraising events such as monthly peer support meetings, education events, and the Gutsy Walk.
We encourage you to apply if you are experienced or interested in the following:
- Adhere to Crohn’s and Colitis Canada policies and procedures, including the Volunteer Code of Conduct
- Fundraising
- Event planning
- Volunteer recruitment

- Acting as a community liaison
Time commitment:
- 2-3 hours per month from September to June

What we offer:
- A community of support, a dedicated staff partner, a team of peers, and role-specific training
- An opportunity to use and grow professional skills, expand your network
- A hands-on chance to make a meaningful difference in the lives of people living with Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis in your community
