This is a great way to get involved with local theatre, while also getting to witness very cool and fun shows! It also looks great on the resume. We can't wait to work with you :)</div>

<p class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">Shelter Movers is a national, volunteer-powered charitable organization providing moving and storage services at no cost to individuals and families fleeing abuse. We collaborate with local businesses and community agencies to support people, primarily women and children, as they transition to a life free of violence.</p>
Established in July 2019, Shelter Movers Nova Scotia (SMNS) is made up of a growing team of dedicated volunteers helping to ensure an immediate and lasting impact on survivors in the province. With headquarters in the Halifax Regional Municipality and two rural extensions in the Annapolis Valley and the South Shore, SMNS offers our services to over 60% of the Nova Scotian population.

Shelter Nova Scotia is passionate about ending homelessness one person at a time. We help people transition from crisis to community. To this end, we operate 5 facilities in HRM providing over 44,000 bed nights per year to men and women with young children who otherwise have nowhere to turn. Each year we care for 1500 people. 17% of our clients are between the ages of 16-24.

We offer far more than shelter; utilizing client and housing support workers in tandem with mental health and addiction services we help people find sustainable independent living. www.shelternovascotia.com

<strong>We provide shelter, essential items and technical assistance to help some of the world’s most vulnerable people recover and rebuild their homes after disaster.</strong>

We listen and adapt our support to the needs of each community, working together with those affected by disaster, alongside our supporters and partners.

ShelterBox teams work with disaster-hit families around the world, offering emergency shelter and other essential items to support them in rebuilding their lives.

Every disaster is different and so is every community, so we spend time with those affected to make sure we can offer the right support at the right time to help them recover. <a href="https://www.shelterboxcanada.org/delivery/">See how we work</a>.

Our teams can travel by boat, helicopter or tuk-tuk to get to the families who need your support – whatever it takes to get to the people who have lost their homes to disaster. <a href="https://www.shelterboxcanada.org/operations-update/">See where we are currently working.</a>

 

<strong>Volunteer with us:</strong>

Every volunteer is instrumental in providing shelter to families after disaster, wherever they are in the world. Whatever skills, knowledge or spare time you have, you can play a vital part in this process. All we need is your passion. Together, we are making an impact and you are a critical part of this movement.

If you don’t see a role below that fits in with your skills and availability, think big and get in touch anyway – we may have something else that suits you.
