Volunteer Burnaby’ Value Statement

Volunteer Burnaby is committed to promoting volunteerism and to providing the residents of Burnaby and New Westminster the opportunity to become involved as volunteers. We believe that all residents should be made to feel welcome to contribute to the betterment of our community.

We believe that Volunteer Burnaby should reflect the community it serves. And, we believe that one of the great benefits of volunteerism is the interaction and mutual cooperation of people who are different from each other, but who share basic qualities which bind us all as human beings. Through communication, cooperation and equal opportunity, we foster mutual understanding, harmony and respect.

As we are committed to furthering these principles, the board and staff are working to write anti-discrimination and anti-harassment policies; the following code of ethics expresses Volunteer Burnaby’s commitment to serving the community in all its diversity.

Volunteer Burnaby pledges to respect people in all their diversity.

  • Educate board, staff and volunteers to be open to embrace contributions of all individuals regardless of age, gender, ethnic background, religion, mental or physical ability, or sexual orientation.
  • Support all individuals regardless of age, gender, ethnic background, religion, mental or physical ability, or sexual orientation, in their efforts to contribute to their communities.
  • Promote the benefits of diversity to all those involved with Volunteer Burnaby.
  • Encourage all volunteers of all abilities, ages, backgrounds, and show genuine appreciation and recognition for their unique and valuable work.
  • Courageously speak out against racist or discriminatory behaviours or practices.
