Join an Unstoppable Team of Concussion and Brain Injury Advocates
Volunteer with Us
Volunteers make up a critical part of our organization. Whether you’ve been impacted by a concussion or brain injury; are preparing for a career in healthcare, administration, or fundraising; or are looking for an opportunity to make a difference in your community, we would love to have you.
A Role Made For You
As a volunteer, you’ll have the opportunity to explore a variety of tasks, including greeting our clients and creating a positive, welcoming environment as our front desk receptionist, performing administrative duties, conducting research on concussion & brain injury, supporting our intake process, faciliating programs, and attending community events.
Any Questions?
We’d be more than happy to chat with you further about what a volunteer position at VBIS has to offer. To learn more, contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Jamie, at jamie@vbis.ca or fill out our volunteer application if you’re ready to get started.
More Ways to Get Involved
There are many ways to join our movement besides volunteering at our office. Consider attending one of our events or workshops, hosting your own fundraiser, or starting a conversation about brain injury with your friends and family. Looking for inspiration? We’ve created some ideas for you!
Come to One of Our Events
Every year VBIS hosts its annual Gala, a classy affair involving dinner, drinks, entertainment, and many prizes. Grab some tickets for you and your friends, or consider donating an item to our silent auction. Feeling more adventurous? Sign up for Toss the Boss, and challenge your colleagues to raise $500 to throw your boss (or professor!) off the WildPlay Nanaimo bungy bridge. All other events and workshops can be found here.
Host Your Own Fundraiser
Utilize your skills and creativity by hosting a fundraiser for VBIS that is truly meaningful to you. From a small bake sale to a large golf tournament, concert, art show, or anything in between – you can get as imaginative as you want! Alternatively, you could keep things simple and ask for donations in lieu of birthday gifts. Contact us if you would like assistance with running your event, or if you’re looking for additional inspiration.
Start a Conversation
One of the primary goals of VBIS is to ensure that concussion & brain injury survivors receive the compassion and support they deserve. You can help us accomplish this by following us on our Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts; sharing our pages; and tagging us in a post of your own. Prefer to do things offline? Ask your friends what they know about brain injury and consider signing up for our ABI 101 course together. Every action makes a difference.
