Thank you for your interest in volunteering with us!

To be a peer support volunteer with the Looking Glass Foundation, you must currently reside in Canada and be 19 years or older. For our Hand in Hand program, we are currently only accepting volunteers who are 30 years or older.

If you have lived experience with an eating disorder or disordered eating, you must be fully recovered for at least two years before becoming a peer support volunteer.

We will review your application on a rolling basis in accordance with our training schedule, and connect once interview availability opens. Please note that response times may vary depending on the number of applications we receive.

Feel free to reach out to volunteer@lookingglassbc.com with any questions. We look forward to the opportunity to connect with you!
