With over 12.7 million volunteers in Canada, we want to celebrate and recognize the contributions of volunteers this National Volunteer Week, who are an important part of the fabric of Canada
Choosing to help others can often to lead to a positive impact for all who are involved, including yourself, here are just a few reasons why:
Improving your well-being: Volunteering gives the individual a sense of purpose. Helping someone in need or serving your community can offer direction, meaning, fulfillment and can reduce stress in your life.
Professional development: 63% of Canadian volunteers feel that getting involved has improved their interpersonal skills, in addition to improving their communication and organizational skills. This has a tremendous value, as these skills are transferable in your professional life.
