Volunteer
Interested in the diverse stories and lived experiences that make up Toronto’s heritage? Looking to get outside, meet new people, and get involved in your community? Volunteer with us!
Why volunteer with us?
A volunteer-led and a volunteer-dependent organization, our volunteers come from all walks of life: from students and interns, to accomplished professionals in many fields, to retirees looking to keep active and engaged. They also ensure our public programs are not only possible but relevant to our local communities.
Exploring [Guild Park’s] hidden gems and hearing the tales behind them was an enriching experience that deepened my appreciation for Toronto’s vibrant past. I eagerly look forward to embarking on more tours and experiences with Heritage Toronto. Being part of this incredible community dedicated to discovering and preserving our city’s heritage is a true honour.

Roles
Volunteer roles vary from administrative support to assisting with plaque unveilings, but most of our volunteers support our walking tours and special events from May to September and assist with our annual Heritage Toronto Awards in October.
How do you get involved?
Heritage Toronto holds its annual volunteer recruitment every year in February, with training taking place in April/May. While our annual recruitment forms the bulk of our volunteer force, there are opportunities to assist with our special-event programming throughout the year. Check our Current Opportunities page frequently so you don’t miss any opportunities.
Our Board
As a city agency, Heritage Toronto is governed by a publicly appointed board of directors.
