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.

Announcing the NVAS Survey: Participate and Win!
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.
