Volunteer Caseworker

Organizational Description

Accommodations Winnipeg is dedicated to empowering the city's most vulnerable citizens—homeless and at‑risk women, seniors and youth—by providing them with the necessary tools, resources, and support to meet their basic needs and secure stable housing.

Volunteer Caseworkers support individuals facing housing instability, eviction, and related challenges. Duties include assisting clients with forms, referrals, basic advocacy, follow‑ups, and documentation under staff supervision. Volunteers may help navigate RTB issues, t, service referrals, and basic case notes. This would represent some of the first dedicated caseworkers and would also involve significant shaping of our program, including developing the intake process.

• Strong communication and listening skills

Volunteer Manitoba is located on the original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Anisininew, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation. We acknowledge that the clean water we drink comes from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, and that our electricity is produced on treaty territory. Volunteer Manitoba respects the Treaties that were made on these territories, we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and we dedicate ourselves to moving forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
