Residents in Sherwood Park, Alberta, have a new opportunity to help decide which local non-profit groups receive government funding by joining a local advisory group. Strathcona County is currently looking for volunteers to serve on the Community Grants Advisory Committee for a three-year term.
The term for new members begins on May 1, 2026, and runs until April 30, 2029. Those selected for the committee will review grant applications from local organizations and provide funding recommendations to the Strathcona County Council to help support community well-being.
Ideal candidates should have professional or volunteer experience and a strong understanding of social issues within the community. Meetings are held at 401 Festival Lane in Sherwood Park, and all volunteers will receive training and an orientation before their first meeting in May.
Interested residents can apply for the position through Volunteer Connector. This role allows residents to participate in local governance and directly influence how the county supports social safety and connection for its people.
