Service Opportunities
Sylvan Lake Bahá'í Centre is dependant on the involvement of many dedicated individuals. From volunteers to paid staff and from a one-day commitment to a long-term commitment, all are necessities for an effective Centre of Learning. We'd love to get you involved! Check out the opportunities for Volunteers, Summer Staff and Year-Round Staff.
If you are interested in being a summer camp counsellor, facilitator or volunteer, please contact us.
All SLBC staff are screened by the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of Canada before commencing their period of service. All SLBC staff working with children require criminal records checks and child welfare checks. SLBC can provide a letter for volunteers to waive the fees.
