Our volunteers are our backbone
Without volunteers, we would not be able to serve our clients each week. We can’t thank our volunteers enough for the thousands of hours that our they give to build the friendships, laughter, love, hope and joy that are the fabric of Beauty Night Society’s community. Please note – our in person orientations are currently paused due to COVID 19, but we are still training small numbers of volunteers onsite at many of our locations.
What you need to know about volunteering
We are in need of Hairstylists, Makeup Artists, and Aestheticians
For hairdressers, we ask that you bring your scissors & styling tools. We will provide neck strips, sanitation supplies and styling products.
For Makeup artists and aestheticians, everything we use is disposable. We provide the applicators, makeup, skin care products.
* For special events, we may ask you to bring your kit.
I don’t Do Hair or Make up – How Can I Help?
Our hair, aesthetics, makeup, child minding & wellness volunteers have training or certifications to be able to volunteer in the capacity that they donate their services. We will train volunteers to offer relaxation massage, foot care, nail polish changes, facilitating, social media, tabling (for fund raising events) and much more. Let us know about your interests in the intake form.
My Coworkers & I Want to Volunteer as a Group
Team Volunteering can be a great Team Builder. All group members must attend an orientation. If you are volunteering as a group, please let us know on the volunteer application. For volunteering, we are looking for groups that would like to come on a weekly or monthly basis. This creates safe spaces for our participants and helps grow healthy community. Some locations are female only.
Can Men Volunteer?
Yes. We love male volunteers. For many of our participants, healthy male role models have not been part of their lives. For many of our participants who may have experienced violence or abuse, our “beauty knights” give them a chance to build friendships with men. We believe it is part of the healing experience to offer safe spaces to work with men.
*Please note -some beauty nights are female only.
Other Ways to Get Involved
We are always Grateful for Donations. Other ways you can get involved are:
Donate Supplies and Products
For Life Makeover nights, we look for professional quality products (we can accept non-professional products for gift packs we give to our participants throughout the year).
Run for Resilence
We organize an annual 10km run to raise money and to involve our Beauty Night clients in a health-promoting activity. We’re always looking for volunteers to help organize and help with training.
Social Enterprise
We have big plans for a new social enterprise offered by Beauty Night. If you have expertise in this area, let’s connect!
