Volunteer Work Experience

Bricks4Kidz is seeking volunteers to act as Teaching Assistants within our programs.  Volunteers will be learning from our trained teachers the best ways to manage and maintain a classroom, and have first-hand experience in STEM education.  Duties include playing with LEGO and having fun with children Aged 5-10.

Our most common, and popular, experiences are within our spring, summer, and winter camps across Greater Vancouver.  These camps take place during school holidays and require a minimum of 3 hours a week, mornings from approximately 9 am – 12 noon or afternoons from approximately 1 pm – 4 pm, for 1 week.  The week must start on Monday and end on Friday.  There are also opportunities during the school year at our after-school or weekend enrichment classes.

Volunteers should be at least 16 years of age.  All our volunteers will be asked to provide a police information check. In exchange, Bricks4Kidz will be happy to act as references for any future endeavors.

If you’ll like to volunteer with us, please contact [email protected] for current opportunities.
