Let’s get ready for National Volunteer Week (NVW)! NVW is just around the corner, and it’s the perfect opportunity to celebrate the power of giving back and make a real difference in our communities.
NVW 2025 celebrates the theme “Volunteers Make Waves,” recognizing the dynamic and transformative power of volunteerism across Canada. This theme highlights the idea that volunteering is a movement builder, where individual efforts combine to create a powerful force for good in our communities.
Together, volunteers form a collective current, shaping a better future for all.
Keep an eye out for instructions on our annual NVW 2025 photo contest!
Our friends at Vantage Point are committed to strengthening the non-profit sector by fostering collaboration, innovation, and leadership. The BC Non-Profit Leadership Conference is their premier event, bringing together non-profit leaders from across the province to share ideas, build connections, and develop strategies that create lasting impact.
Attendees will engage in dynamic workshops, insightful panel discussions, and valuable networking opportunities to enhance leadership skills and organizational effectiveness.
Did you know, since 2000, Volunteer Canada and the VMPC-Volunteer Management Professionals of Canada have collaborated to craft, maintain and revise the Canadian Code for Volunteer Involvement (CCVI).
The Standards of Volunteer Involvement help non-profits create a culture where volunteers are valued, supported, and respected. As we mark 25 years, we invite you to join us in learning and advancing these standards into their next iteration.
We are reviewing the Ten Standards of Practice for Volunteer Involvement and want to hear from you!
Engage with us on social media as we explore these standards.
To discover practical ways to apply the Standards in your organization, review our handbook.

We are excited to announce the launch of the National Volunteer Action Strategy Survey! Starting in April, everyone who participates in the survey will be entered into monthly draws for a chance to win a $100 gift card.
Your participation is crucial. By sharing your experiences, you help us gather valuable data that helps co-build an impactful National Volunteer Action Strategy, strengthen our advocacy efforts and enables us to share insights with our partners.
