  • Excellent empathetic listening and communication skills.

  • Time commitment: two hours per month.

  • Must be a member in good standing with the Alberta Bar Association.

  • Must have accreditation as a practicing lawyer in Alberta.



ASSETS



  • Bilingualism.

  • An understanding of trauma-informed practices.



WORKING CONDITIONS
This volunteer opportunity is primarily in-person and onsite at the Women’s Centre of Calgary. Some remote delivery is available on an as-needed basis.


Program volunteers undergo: 1) a police information check with a vulnerable search; and 2) reference checks.
