In Canada, volunteers are generous with their time
Did you know that volunteers in Canada donate 1.7 billion hours of time and talent each year?
Here are a few other new facts about volunteers from Imagine Canada:
- 41% of Canadians are volunteering their time to charities and nonprofits, that’s 13 million volunteers!
- An average volunteer contributes 131 hours per year or 2.5 hours per week, which is equal to 860,000 full-time jobs
Volunteers help build stronger and healthier communities
In the last six months, Community Volunteer Connections has helped 40 nonprofit and charitable organizations find volunteers! These opportunities are for volunteers in the Tri-Cities and some from other parts of Lower Mainland communities. We couldn’t help these organizations and their causes without you.
Community Volunteer Connections has over 500 registered volunteers who are eager and dedicated to donating their time and talent to many different causes, and organizations they care about. Some volunteer work is for a single event, and some is for a longer-term commitment, some volunteers want to work in groups with families or friends and some are happy volunteering as an individual. There are so many options to volunteer in the Tri-Cities, and you are so very appreciated for what you do!
Wishing you all the best in your volunteer journey!
