Staff Applications

Volunteer with The YES

Our staff team is made up of a group of change-making volunteers. It is incredibly important for us to continue to build our teams.

The application process is highly competitive and we encourage all applicants to provide thoughtful and thorough answers to all questions. Volunteers are able to staff a minimum of one camp and a maximum of six camps, depending on experience, availability and roles.

Our official staff applications will open in Spring 2024. However, we are always accepting new volunteer expressions of interest. If you're interested in staffing with us or curious about the role, review the steps below: 

Send an expression of interest to info@theyes.ca. This is for individuals who:

  • Have attended The YES camp as a participant but not as a staff

  • Have no previous experience at the The YES, but have experience/passion working with youth, leadership, outdoor education or looking to strengthen that

  • Have no previous experience at the The YES, but have been referred by a current staff member
