Volunteer for CanadaGenWeb

There are several volunteer opportunities throughout CanadaGenWeb, positions posted here are for the national site only.

If there is a particular area or interest where you’d like to volunteer, locate the GenWeb site (Province/Territory GenWeb or Special Project) that best fits and visit to see if there are any volunteer postings.

Even if specific volunteer positions aren’t posted, volunteers are always welcome and help is always needed. Please feel free to share your knowledge and expertise!

Please Note:

  • All CanadaGenWeb volunteers are expected to offer their time and expertise voluntarily.  
  • A GenWeb website or volunteer position cannot be used to solicit clients or sell personal services.  
  • Volunteers are NOT expected to do research. Your role is to advise and point researchers in the right direction so they can conduct their own research. If you wish to do more you are welcome to do so but it must be done voluntarily, no fees can be charged.

CanadaGenWeb Volunteers Needed:

Writers are needed to create knowledgeable articles that can assist those researching their Canadian ancestry. We’re seeking step-by-step guides on how to use specific genealogy resources, and general knowledge articles about specific genealogy resources, areas of Canada, or peoples of Canada. No A.I. generated articles please!

    Indexers are needed to index genealogy records for our Archives, and cemetery photos for our cemetery project. If interested, please see either the Archives project or the cemetery project for additional information.

    Transcribers are needed to transcribe genealogy records for our Archives. If interested, please sign up as a volunteer on the Archives website.

    Photographers are needed to take cemetery photos for our cemetery project. If interested, please head over to the cemetery project volunteer page for more information.

    CanadaGenWeb is 100% free to use and free to contribute to, but we can only grow with the support of volunteers and we can only get new volunteers if they know we exist. Please help get the word out!

    No need to sign up as a volunteer, just share our URL -> https://canadagenweb.org
