MEMBERSHIP
Becoming a member of Volunteer Canada is the first step in developing a link to our country’s voluntary sector. Not only is membership with Volunteer Canada an opportunity to unite your organization with thousands of other non-profit and charitable groups, but also be a part of a continuously growing community developed to foster and promote volunteerism in Canada. 
Members of Volunteer Canada are organizations and individuals who wish to continue to see volunteerism grow with this new decade and build our sector into becoming a constant facet in the lives of Canadians. We believe in the strength of giving time, skill and in the nature of a good deed and its ability to facilitate change. Through a network of networks, we support Canadian communities to take action and use the tools and resources provided to become better advocates for their causes and volunteerism as a whole.
Since 1977, Volunteer Canada has been promoting and enhancing volunteerism through effective partnerships, ongoing programs; special projects while providing leadership on issues and trends that affect civic participation in Canada.
