Like many lifelong volunteers, Theresa has been volunteering since she was in school. She was involved in fundraisers held in her northern community for her school’s sports trips. Their fundraising efforts often made the difference between travelling by plane or on a very long bus ride to a game site. During her university years at the University of Lethbridge — while working toward a degree in psychology — Lightfoot worked for Com Serv and Alberta Community Living as a counsellor. During this time, she became a citizen advocate under a program that sought to assist individuals with special needs. Lightfoot helped clients find better living, working, and educational situations. This experience says Lightfoot, “Developed into a long-term volunteer role that lasted for over 10 years and brought with it some very treasured friendships.”

As Director of Lightfoot Music for over 14 years, Lightfoot not only taught private lessons, but also worked with many school groups as a volunteer accompanist or conductor. She also voluntarily prepared individual students for their performances. “It was lovely at Christmastime,” says Lightfoot, “ to be involved in concerts at three or more different schools in the County of Lac St. Anne, and performing through the year with two or three groups for the seniors' homes, the Legionnaires, children’s' festivals, Kiwanis festivals and local folk festivals.” Currently, as a singer/song-writer, she donates CDs of her original music (under the name Trece) to raise funds for different programs. During 2005, Lightfoot will be performing at a minimum of three fundraising events in the Edmonton area.

In addition to her musical volunteerism, was on the board of WEBS (Women Entrepreneurs Business Solutions). Since 2000, Lightfoot has taken part as a volunteer marketer with Technology for Success, and is on the nominating committee of the You're Welcome Awards, both with EDE.
