Join Our Team!

The Greater Vernon 2022 BC Winter Games will be held March 23-26, 2023 -- and we need you!

The young BC athletes that will attend the Games only have this opportunity because our community stepped up to host the Games - and we need community minded individuals to volunteer their time.

The benefits of volunteering range from meeting new people to connecting to your community and has positive rewards to your mental and physical well being.

Volunteer opportunities are plentiful with a wide variety of options. There is something for everyone whether you are young or young at heart. We will be gathering more than 1,500 volunteers to help with general task as well as taking on leadership roles. Our recruitment events started last spring and will continue for the next few months. Look for us out and about in the community. Last year we attended events like the Silver Star Light Up event, Vernon Viper Games, Farmer’s Markets, and Schubert Centre Pancake Breakfasts.
