At The Hastings Sunrise Community Policing Centre (HSCPC), volunteers are the heart of our organization. Volunteers not only participate in programs and projects, but also play a significant role in the operation and leadership of the HSCPC.

People from all over the lower mainland and from many different walks of life volunteer at our centres and in the programs. Some of our volunteers are applying for a police or fire department, others are students gaining valuable work experience, and others still are community members wanting to be proactive in resolving a concern.

All seem to share a common theme - wanting to help out their community to make it a safe and healthy place to live and work.

As we are a non-profit organization there are also opportunities for volunteers and community members to sit on the Board of Directors.
