We could not do what we do without the help and support of our amazing volunteers! At the SHARP Foundation, volunteers are the engine to our organization, and the volunteer program allows SHARP to be incredible organization that it is today.
 
Volunteer Opportunities
We have numerous volunteer opportunities for everyone to get involved, and here are the following ways to make a meaningful impact:

-Continuing Connections 
 Do you like meeting new people, getting to know someone’s story, being a friend of one or many? Provide one to one companionship, laughs and accompaniment to one of our residents through fun activities like bowling, going to movies, art classes, playing cards, baking, or just visiting.
 
-Leisure Recreation 
 Do you like meeting new people, being a friend of one or many? Going to the movies, coffee mornings/afternoons, art and craft classes, baking, Tai Chi and BBQs are just some of the fun events volunteers attend with small groups of up to four residents.
 
-Fund Development
 Help raise funds through events such as  casinos as well as helping to secure auction items and solicit corporate sponsorships.
 
-Peer Potentials
 Role model healthy relationships for adults living with HIV by facilitating group meetings, assisting in program development, and acting as a positive resource.
 
-Office Duties/Media and Communications
 Discover the many opportunities to contribute to the foundation of the organization. This can range from filing and writing thank you letters to preparing our internal and external newsletters (writing articles, editing, mailing).
 
-Event Planners and Assistants
 SHARP participates in  Calgary Marathon, Bowls for Beswick, Calgary PRIDE and more. We also participate in events with our partners that promote education and research. We look for volunteers to help coordinate, plan or help out and most importantly have fun at events!
