Volunteer Opportunities

Trip Leaders and Assistants

We’re looking for people who are interested in sharing their outdoors enthusiasm with others and have the desire to lead, motivate, and manage groups in the outdoors. We offer opportunities to lead trips on established Venture Outdoor activities, or you can design a trip that matches your special interests. Review the Trip Leader Expectations to see what it takes to be part of this elite group of leaders. Learn More About Becoming a Volunteer Trip Leader.

Event and Outreach Help

Volunteers are needed to help at events like the Banff Mountain Film Festival, community festivals, and more! Opportunities include set-up and tear-down, staffing, raffle ticket and auction sales, and more.

Office Help

We are always looking for help with data entry, membership mailings, and other projects around the office. If you have a few spare hours a week and can lend a hand, let us know and we’ll see if we have a project in the pipeline.

Do you have professional skills in finance, event planning, marketing, or fundraising? Consider joining our Board, Junior Board (for young professionals), or an Advisory Committee.
