Ways to Volunteer

Join our team of 90,000 volunteers to canvass, connect and collect for life-saving research.

There are three volunteer roles for the Heart & Stroke Canvass:

1. Canvasser: A volunteer who collects donations and delivers life-saving information to neighbours, friends, family and colleagues. (Visit Resources for more information.)
2. Team Captain: A volunteer who leads and supports a team of canvassers and may also choose to be a canvasser. (Visit Resources for more information.)
3. Zone Leader: A volunteer who leads and supports a team of captains and may also choose to be a canvasser.

You’ll play a vital role in helping family, friends and neighbours live longer, healthier lives, free of heart disease and stroke. And it all starts with your community.

Community is what makes Heart & Stroke Canvass successful year after year. Whether you canvass in person, online, or both, the greater your reach the more of a difference you’ll make. Neighbours, family, friends, co-workers, teammates, and your online social network will benefit from the signs of heart attack you’ll share. And they’ll be happy to support your drive for life-saving research.

And if you want to help others grow in their role, you can become a Team Captain to support other canvassers, or become a Zone Leader to support captains.
