We’re Looking for Volunteers with All Kinds of Talents!
Our society thrives thanks to the passion and dedication of volunteers, and we’re always looking for more helping hands! Whether you’re an archivist, cleaner, inventory specialist, or have skills in graphic design, Photoshop, videography, or website development, we’d love to hear from you.
Volunteers are welcome to take on multiple roles, so if you want to drive, work on buses, and represent us at events, go for it! We also need general volunteers to assist with day-to-day tasks at our Langley facility.
The preservation, operation, and maintenance of our beautiful fleet of vintage buses is powered almost entirely by volunteers. Whether you can help occasionally or on a regular basis, your time and talents are incredibly valuable, and always appreciated.
No matter your background or skillset, there’s a place for you here. Come join us and be part of something special!
