Volunteer Burnaby

Promote Volunteerism We promote the value of volunteerism in our communities through volunteer fairs in the local post-secondary institutions, festivals of volunteers in the local malls, volunteer recognition events, and the use of media to increase awareness of community volunteering and volunteerism. Build Capacity for Local Volunteering We Build capacity in the non-profit sector by offering consultation services and training in volunteer management, fundraising, and board development. To help increase the scope and effectiveness of non-profit organizations, we participate in community events and various local committees. Connect People to What Matters in Their Community We connect people with organizations through our database of current volunteer opportunities, maintaining community information through media releases, and personally assisting individuals seeking to be involved in the community. Provide Leadership on Issues Related to Volunteerism We advocate on issues related to volunteerism by being an active partner of a network of local, regional, provincial and national organizations such as Volunteer BC and Volunteer Canada. We work to keep focus on volunteerism as a key component of a healthy community.
