Many organizations throughout Canada rely heavily on the contribution of volunteers. The work that volunteers do are diverse, ranging from hands-on field work such as planting trees and collecting donations, to office work such as managing the reception desk and sitting on the board of directors. Many programs and services may not exist without the ongoing support and commitment of volunteers.
Appreciating the vital role that volunteers play in supporting communities locally and around the world, they are officially recognized in Canada through National Volunteer Week. National Volunteer Week is celebrated annually, and this year it takes place from April 21 to 27. It is a chance to give thanks to those who have given back to the community.
If you're not currently a volunteer, and are looking for volunteer opportunities, Volunteer Canada has tools to help you locate volunteer positions in your area that matches your skills and interests.
Whether you're currently a volunteer, or are looking for volunteer work, you are helping to make the world a better place with your generosity, time, and dedication.
Happy National Volunteer Week!
