The Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support Centre has a large community of volunteers and staff across Canada who help us deliver our support programs and events. Whether you have experienced loss yourself or hold the cause close to your heart, there is a place for you on our team. We could not do this important work without generous people such as yourself. Join us today as we continue to change the narrative around loss.
What We Provide
At the Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support Centre, we value our volunteers. Our priority is to make sure our volunteers feel prepared, supported, and valued throughout your time with us. To help make your experience a positive one with us, we provide:
- A dedicated team lead and volunteer team to check-in and debrief whenever needed.
- Comprehensive training on peer support, grief & loss, inclusivity, accessibility, language and more.
- Full and encouraged access to our services (including our coaches and counsellors).
- Opportunities for continued learning.
- In-person activities and events to engage with the local community.
What to expect
We aim to make joining our volunteer community a thoughtful, supportive, and well-paced experience. Because many of our roles involve emotionally sensitive work, our process is designed to ensure both volunteers and the people we serve feel safe, prepared, and supported every step of the way.

We are dedicated to supporting individuals of all faiths, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and gender identities. In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge that we live, work and play on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut’ina, the Îyâxe Nakoda Nations, the Métis Nation (Region 3), and all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.
