Are you looking for a fun and rewarding volunteer opportunity where you gain valuable work experience? Or a reliable reference?
The Toronto International BuskerFest is back!! After a two-year hiatus, we are finally able to gather together again to celebrate our 21st anniversary of the festival! The Covid-19 pandemic was a challenging time for all of us. As a non-profit, in particular, we rely on fundraising events like BuskerFest to support our agency and help us continue to provide free services to people with epilepsy in our community. We are thrilled to be back and need your help now more than ever before!
The Toronto International BuskerFest is North America’s largest street performing festival. Join comedians, escape artists, sword-swallowers, musicians, magicians, fire jugglers, acrobats, aerial artists, clowns and daredevils; over a hundred of the most extraordinary street performers from around the world, as they descend upon Woodbine Park for some serious fun, laughs, and entertainment! You can be part of the magic while also helping to raise much-needed funds and awareness for Epilepsy Toronto!
There are 1 in 100 people living with Epilepsy in our community. Meaning, if you have 300 friends on your social media, 3 of those people have epilepsy now or will get it soon. By volunteering, you can help make a difference.
This year, we are looking for energetic, reliable individuals who are passionate about volunteering and helping others. The FUNdraiser gates position is a key role at Buskerfest! We are looking for volunteers who are not afraid to approach customers to ask for donations to support epilepsy and spread awareness. This is a great way to gain vital skills, and make reliable work connections, all while having a blast. This is also a great way to get volunteer hours and make new friends in the community.
At Epilepsy Toronto, volunteers are more than just a number. We take time to get to know you, support your interests, and appreciate everything you do for the charity. For those hard-working volunteers, we would be happy to be a reference for future employers, if needed.

Our programs address all aspects of epilepsy from the first diagnosis of a child, to the struggles that young people face, to adult needs such as employment and relationships.
