Lethbridge Volunteer Opportunities
Primo Music Association is the parent not-for-profit organization that puts on Centric MusicFest each July.
We are calling for any members of the community who might be interested in serving on our board to reach out to us. You do not need a background in music! We do want you to be enthusiastic about helping us feature wonderful concerts in Southern Alberta in the summer. We are eager to engage with volunteers with a diversity of backgrounds and experiences. We make every effort to spread the work among board members, and the busiest time is May-early July. We are looking primarily for Board members who can join us mid July after the busiest festival time, although you’re welcome any time.
Special Events Assistants provide support during busy festivals and offsite events in an effort to raise awareness about the Nature Centre’s programs and services.
Supporting the mission and vision, the Special Event Assistant represents the Nature Centre in the community by helping acting as an ambassador at events like Canada Day at Henderson Lake, Lethbridge Children’s Expo, Spring Nature Fest, Discovery Days, Nature Play Fest, among many others.
Location: Special Events take place at the Nature Centre and at various locations throughout the City of Lethbridge.
Trail Rovers act as the eyes and ears of the Nature Centre – reporting their observations, sightings, and photos from the trail system. Supporting the mission and vision, the Trail Rover represents the Nature Centre in the community by helping trail users understand and appreciate what they are experiencing. Rovers often share their love and knowledge of what can be discovered in Lethbridge’s river valley.
Location: Trail Rovers work in various locations throughout the City of Lethbridge at any park or natural area accessible by the city’s trail system.
Exhibit Rovers interact with our visitors, providing an interpretive experience that connects them to nature through our exhibit program. Supporting the mission and vision, the Exhibit Rover represents the Nature Centre to visitors during normal operating hours (between 10am and 6pm).
Location: Exhibit Rovers work in the exhibit rooms – primarily the front lobby, main gallery, and exhibit gallery at the Helen Schuler Nature Centre, located north of the High Level Bridge via Indian Battle Road and 3rd Avenue South.
Program Assistants work closely with Nature Centre staff to deliver compelling, interactive, and memorable programs. Supporting the mission and vision, the Program Assistant represents the Nature Centre in the community by helping Program Leaders in such programs as: Big Bird Little Bird, Junior Naturalists/Trail Blazers, Extreme by Nature, and Day Camps.

What a typical lunch program looks like:

- Meals are served as youth arrive.
- Youth either take a meal to go, or stay if time and regulations permit.

Thursdays 11am-4pm – walking or sitting roles!

Looking for volunteers passionate about sports.
If you are into physical activity, this might be for you. But if you don’t, there is a place for you as well supporting the program.
Looking for an experienced hairdresser/barber with willingness to work with a street population.
Streets Alive runs a CARE CUTS program and has all the tools and supplies so volunteers would not need to provide anything other than themselves.
Volunteer shifts are based on volunteer availability and area in which they would like to volunteer.
Volunteers will always be accompanied by a staff member when working directly with the street population.
