Volunteer at the Centre
KSAC was staffed solely by volunteers from 1976 until 1985. We know the tremendous work that this powerful group did to ensure that we were able to formally become an agency. We will always honour those original volunteers who had a vision of support and safety for our community of survivors.
Volunteering at the Centre is a very rewarding and meaningful experience that touches the lives of survivors of sexual violence and the people who support their healing.
We are currently looking for individuals who would like to volunteer as administrative support at our main office, and individuals wanting to support our public education and community events. We are also recruiting volunteers for our board of directors.
In-Centre Volunteer Positions
- Prevention Education Volunteer (including presentations, public education, supporting disclosures and special events)
- Post-Secondary Student Placement

KSAC is also proud to support placement students.
We prioritize placements for BSW students from Trent University and SSW students from Fleming College. Some of the amazing staff at KSAC began their careers as placement students.
