Volunteer with us
join the team!
Volunteering with women who are actively dealing with addiction, domestic violence, sexual exploitation, and trauma can be immensely rewarding. Still, it's important to be aware of the intensity and potential challenges involved. These women are often facing some of the most difficult moments of their lives, and the work can be emotionally demanding.
It's crucial to approach this volunteer work with compassion, empathy, and a non-judgmental attitude. You'll likely hear stories of deep pain and struggle, and you may witness challenging behaviors or situations. We will ensure you are not alone in this work. You'll be part of a team that includes other volunteers, staff members, and mental health professionals.

Every volunteer will be required to adhere to our statement of faith, code of ethics, application process and provide an approved police check.

Front line, serving women caught in the sex trade, exploited or at risk of or currently being trafficked. Working at our outreach location, located on Calgary’s last prostitution stroll, up to 30+ women per day come in for clothing, food hampers, hot meal, shower, hygiene kits and care packages. This is a safe space that our team welcomes, loves, prays and creates trusting relationships with individuals meeting them where they are at.

PARLOUR OUTREACH
Parlour outreach is a ministry of presence. We bring gifts once a month to ladies working in the massage parlours (body rub centres). Our goal is to build trusting relationships with these women in the hopes of offering social supports, a listening ear and sharing the hope of Jesus with them. This is a ministry which requires a 1 year commitment as it takes time to build rapport with each woman.
