Volunteer Application

Thank you for your interest in joining our team

Eating Disorders NS works towards a future where all Nova Scotians affected by eating disorders have access to the support and hope they need for recovery.

We support individuals, families and friends affected by eating disorders by providing community-based supports rooted in lived experience. We are committed to inspiring hope, reducing stigma, raising awareness, and offering meaningful support at all stages of recovery.

Our volunteers are ambassadors for our shared vision. Volunteers serve on our board of directors, create and carry out events and fundraisers, reach out to our community through our social media channels, lead our family peer support group, mentor others and much more.

* 4. We invite applicants whose values are aligned with ours. Please indicate if you agree with the following:

Recovery is possible.

Recovery is experienced and defined differently by each individual.

Eating disorders are highly complex illness – both biologically-driven and culturally and genetically-influenced.

Everyone should have access to compassionate support and resources.

I value the diversity of people experiencing eating disorders, with regard to culture, age, gender, sexual orientation, spiritual beliefs, socioeconomic status, and body shapes and sizes.
