Youth Volunteer Program
Enriching Our Community Together
Volunteers are a valuable part of our Recreation and Leisure Department. We invest time and resources to provide volunteers with an opportunity for an enjoyable and rewarding experience. We are looking for enthusiastic, committed and responsible young people to volunteer their time in a variety of recreation areas including swimming, youth programs, day camps and skating programs.
The City of Kingston Youth Volunteer Program is open to youth ages 13-17. The program offers young people a chance to gain valuable experience working with children and youth. All hours completed as part of the program can be used towards the high school volunteer hours requirement. Volunteer positions are available in three areas: Children's Programs, Aquatic Programs and Ice Skating Programs.
Aquatic Volunteers - Volunteers are needed at our pools to assist qualified instructors with swimming lessons. Volunteers must have an aquatic background. Most placements will be located at Artillery Park Aquatic & Fitness Centre.
Ice Skating Instruction Volunteers - Volunteers are required to assist qualified instructors with skating programs that operate from October to March. Volunteers must have strong ice skating skills and an interest in working with children ages 3 to 12 years of age. Most placements will be located at the INVISTA Centre.
Children's Recreational Program Volunteers - Volunteers are required to assist with our holiday camps, PA days and afterschool programs. Volunteers must have an interest in working with children ages 6 to 12. First aid and CPR certification are assets. Most placements will be located at Artillery Park Aquatic & Fitness Centre.
