Opportunity Description
Movers are the backbone of the organization, as they carry out the mission on the ground by moving clients’ belongings to safety. In a group of 2-7 movers/drivers, guided by a detailed itinerary, volunteers will load/unload the client’s belongings into a vehicle and transport the client to the predetermined location. Rental vehicles are provided for the move, and movers who have a valid driver’s license are welcome to register as drivers.
This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to make a significant impact through volunteering their time in a hands-on capacity for small chunks of time. The duration of each move varies, with an average of about 4-6 hours long from the vehicle rental pick-up time. Each move will be characterized based on the risk level and accordingly be escorted by local police, security guards, or neither. Our moves will often entail driving within and sometimes outside of the city. Further information will be shared with volunteers on a per-move basis. With our flexible volunteering model, you can sign up to volunteer on moves according to your availability.

Shelter Movers is a national, volunteer-powered charitable organization providing moving and
storage services at no cost to individuals and families fleeing abuse. We collaborate with local
businesses and community agencies to support people, primarily women and children, as they

volunteer teams contribute over 31,000 hours to support people transitioning to lives free of
violence and abuse.
Volunteering at Shelter Movers means contributing to a mission that will make a meaningful
impact on families experiencing abuse and supporting survivors as they transition to a life free
of violence. It also means playing a tangible role in breaking the cycle of gender-based violence
in Canada. We are growing and looking to add caring, compassionate, and dependable people
