CAREERS & VOLUNTEERS
Join our team!
We are compassionate advocates who understand the complexities of leaving violence. Want to help? Explore our career and volunteer opportunities below.
Open Roles
Thanks for checking in! While we currently do not have any open paid positions, we have a few volunteer roles to fill! More details are provided below.
Please Note: We do not typically offer volunteers the opportunity to learn front-line or clinical skills, or to work directly with our clients. We recommend contacting organizations like Battered Women’s Support Services or Salal’s Sexual Violence Support Centre for similar experiences.
For general inquiries about careers and volunteering, please email Connie Bonsteel at cbonsteel@nscss.net. Thank you!

Volunteer at our thrift store!
Good Stuff Connection Thrift Store & Clothing Program
Did you know? All thrift store proceeds directly fund our programs for women and children facing violence.
We’re looking for volunteers to help sort donations, price items, and steam clothes to prepare them for the storefront. At GSC, volunteers also help assemble care kits for clients in our safe housing programs.
Volunteers must be 16+ and can commit to 3 hours per week.
To apply, contact Manisha at gsc@nscss.net. You’re also welcome to visit the store. We’re open every day (except holidays) from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Donate “Good Stuff!”
It’s called the Good Stuff Connection for good reason… Our donors give us great stuff!
Much of what is donated goes either directly to SAGE Transition House or is “purchased” through our clothing program. With the program, clients of NSCSS and our 14 community partners are provided vouchers redeemable at ourstore. Our Clothing Program ensures that clean, good quality clothing, shoes, personal items, and small household goods are provided free of charge to women and children staying at SAGE Transition House and other important members of our community.
Other items are sold for reasonable prices at our store. 100% of proceeds directly support NSCSS programs.
To donate items, bring them to: 154 West 3rd Street, North Vancouver. Please call Manisha ahead of time at 604-987-1773.
