Volunteer Opportunities
General Volunteer Program
Kids Up Front has rewarding opportunities available for anyone who wants to get involved and support our charity through volunteering. We are always looking for volunteers to help run special events, fundraisers, complete deliveries, sell 50-50s, and much more! The time commitment to this program is very flexible. As we send out volunteering opportunities, you can choose to sign up for the events that work with your schedule.
Suite Ambassador Program
This amazing program was started with the endorsement of the Calgary Flames, Calgary Hitmen, Calgary Roughnecks, and the Saddledome Executive Suites department. Kids Up Front Calgary launched the Suite Ambassador Program so kids could watch a hockey game, lacrosse game or concert AND do it from a luxury suite! The Suite Ambassador meets the group at the location, brings them to the suite, hangs out with the kids and families in the suite, and ensures the event is a success. These Suite Ambassadors are Kids Up Front's eyes and ears at all Saddledome events!
