Impact Statement
Shelter Movers provides moving and storage services at no cost to women and children fleeing abuse. We are the only organization of our kind in Canada, and our volunteers are no less exceptional. Every year, in collaboration with community partners, our volunteer teams contribute over 15,000 hours to support people transitioning to lives free of violence and abuse.
Shelter Movers is expanding into the Waterloo Region and we are looking for committed and enthusiastic volunteers.
At our core, we aim to remind survivors of their intrinsic worth and the power they are reclaiming in their decision to leave an abusive relationship. At the end of the day, our story is made up of many stories, starting with those of survivors.

Time Commitment
Duration: 4 - 6 months
Anytime
Flexible based on availability - approximately 8-10 hours per month. Move Coordinators (MCs) are assigned one move at a time to coordinate for a client. Each move typically takes approximately 3-4 hours to coordinate in the days leading up to the move. We ask that MCs be on-call during the move and complete some post-move tasks. We ask that MCs be available for a minimum of 1 move per month, but can take on more if desired.
This is a work-from-home position, with occasional meetings (in-person and/or conference calls). A medium-to-long term commitment is strongly preferred.
