Volunteer opportunities
Every year, more than 500 volunteers help out at various programs and events. For Côte Saint-Luc, the contribution volunteers make to our city is clear and for those volunteering the benefits are also clear. Teens who volunteer meet new friends, build confidence and self-esteem and acquire experience which they can add to their CV. Adults who volunteer remain active and engaged, share their experience and widen their social circle. No matter why you decide to volunteer, you do good and everyone benefits from your actions.
