Shelter Movers Nova Scotia has been operational since 2019 and has completed over 800 moves to date. We are growing and looking to add caring and compassionate people to our volunteer team. |
| Description |
Movers and Drivers are core to the organization by assisting on each move. In a group of 2-7 movers, volunteers will load/unload the client’s belongings into a vehicle and transport the client to the predetermined location. Vehicles are provided for the move, and movers who have a valid driver’s license are welcome to register as drivers, but drivers are always also movers. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to make a big impact in a small amount of time. Each move varies from 3-5 hours. With our flexible volunteering model, you can sign up to volunteer on moves as per your availability. |
