VOLUNTEERS BUILD RESILIENT COMMUNITIES
More than half of Canada’s 161,000 non-profit and charitable organizations have no paid staff and rely solely on volunteers. 12.7 million volunteers contribute close to 2 Bbillion hours annually. Imagine what your community would look like if all that went away?
VOLUNTEERS HELP IMPROVE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR OTHERS
They also gain valuable experience and develop new skills. As well, studies show that involved Canadians enjoy an improved overall health.
