About Volunteer Canada

Volunteer Canada is the national voice for volunteerism in Canada. With more than 30 years of passionate commitment to the cause of volunteering and civic participation, Volunteer Canada inspires Canadians to get involved from coast to coast. The organization develops programs, leads national initiatives, creates tools, and conducts vital research for the not-for-profit sector.

Focused on influencing social policy and developing valuable resources for volunteers and organizations, Volunteer Canada helps non-profits and businesses adapt to the changing culture of volunteerism. It recognizes the impact of Canada’s 12.5 million volunteers through national campaigns and works with its Corporate Council on Volunteering to inspire and lead conversations about corporate community involvement. Volunteer Canada works collaboratively with volunteer centres, businesses, and non-profit organizations to support civic participation and the ultimate agents of social change, Canada’s volunteers.
