Collingwood Neighbourhood House (CNH) provides services and community development initiatives aimed at improving the quality of life of residents in the Renfrew-Collingwood area of east Vancouver. Activities are targeted primarily to low and middle income families. Services are delivered in a variety of languages with emphasis on building social connections, capacity, cross-cultural sharing and life-long learning. Residents of all ages participate in educational, cultural, social, health, economic and recreational services, as well as contribute towards building a safe and caring community through volunteer contributions, leadership and partnership development.
CNH is a non-profit, social services agency serving the community since 1985. We are guided by our vision, mission, and values statements to provide services and opportunities to our community. We offer licensed child care (including $10/day child care), immigrant services, recreation, youth, seniors and intercultural opportunities, including programs related to food, arts and celebrations, community initiatives, intercultural projects, and homelessness outreach.
In 2020, we became the first neighbourhood house in North America to operate a Community Health Centre.

The PACE Program provides a range of early intervention as well as treatment services to young children and their families, where there may be ongoing concerns about the child’s emotional well-being and/or challenging behaviours.
This continuum of services ranges from support within neighbourhood childcare settings, to more intensive services for children and families who have experienced significant distressing events in their life. PACE believes in providing a “wrap-around” service to families, working in partnership with parents, caregivers and other professionals.
The PACE Program, operated by the PACE Child & Family Society, has been a resource for children, families and the community since 1984.
The agency is primarily funded by the Ministry for Children and Family Development (MCFD).
Many of the services are accredited by CARF.
Founded in 1970, the British Columbia Foundation for Non-Animal Research (BCFNAR) shepherds and honours the legacy of Evelyn Martin, R.N. in an effort to replace the use of animals in medical research, testing and education.
The Foundation provides grants to emerging or established scientists for biomedical experiments or teaching methods that do not involve animal use. This can also include capital equipment and software which facilitates the replacement of animal use in teaching or training.
The Foundation is also committed to supporting a diverse range of creative methods that challenge the use of animals in research, testing, and education and encourages the adoption of alternatives to harmful animal use across Canada.
We are a registered charity that operates two programs: a Sunday Free Breakfast for the Homeless which operates year-round out, and an emergency cold weather Warming Centre in the winter months. Both projects operate out of the Odd Fellows' Hall at 1443 W 8th in Vancouver.
The Sunday Breakfast operates 9:30-11:30am every Sunday year round. The Warming Centre operates 9:30pm-8:30am on nights when the "feels like" temperature gets down to -4 or colder.
We welcome new applications for volunteers for both projects.
Metro Theatre is a non-profit Society: Volunteers are our strength
Celebrating 61 years of entertainment
Metro Theatre’s MISSION STATEMENT – to provide high-quality entertainment for the public; to provide opportunities for “training and experience” in theatre arts.
It is important to note that Metro Theatre is a registered non-profit society, and primarily a volunteer organization. The organization receives no significant grants or funding. We depend almost entirely on revenue from ticket sales to cover the substantial costs of mounting our six-production season each year. We could not do this without the contributions of the many volunteers who donate their time and talent onstage, backstage and in the front-of-house.
There are plenty of opportunities to explore your area of interest throughout the season. Our one requirement – you, the volunteer should be available for the show’s production run.
Working backstage is an exciting way to discover the inner workings of our theatre company. It is an excellent way to make new friends and be part of a theatre team. No experience – no problem – training provided.
