Volunteering

Sign up to become a Richmond Hill volunteer by creating an online profile for our volunteer database. Follow the directions to create your profile.

Volunteers, under the age of 18, need to complete the Parent/Guardian section as well.

You will need to send copies of all valid certificates you include in the qualifications section. Email us copies of your certificates or mail them to the Volunteer Development Assistant at the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts located at:

New Location!

10268 Yonge Street
Richmond Hill ON, L4C 3B7

Please note that your AODA Accessible Customer Service Training can be completed online, once you've created a profile.

Don't forget to save your profile! Once this is complete, you will receive two emails from us - one with your username and login information and another welcoming you to our volunteer program.

We run a Volunteer Orientation to help you get started. Please complete your online profile in our volunteer database and register for an orientation session.

You need to complete the AODA Accessible Customer Service Training online before you can start volunteering. Once you have attended the Volunteer Orientation and have made an online profile, you will receive and email with the access link to complete the AODA online training. We will then update your profile to show that your training has been completed.

Volunteers, under the age of 18, need to complete a Parent/Guardian Waiver Form.

Volunteers who are 18 years of age and older need to get a Vulnerable Sector Screening Check from the York Regional Police/your local police department. Please ensure you pick up the form along with the supporting letter and take both of them to the York Regional Police Community Office at Yonge Street and Elgin Mills Road.

Send your completed forms to Volunteer Development at the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts located at:

New Location!

10268 Yonge Street
Richmond Hill ON, L4C 3B7

You can also email us your waiver but you need to send or drop off the original copy of your Vulnerable Sector Screening Check by mail.

Once we receive and review your forms, we will update your online profile and activate your account.

You can start searching for volunteer opportunities once your profile is complete, your forms have been received and your Accessible Customer Service Training is complete.
