If you are Canadian, you have probably considered volunteering because lending a hand, taking a turn, and helping others are national values.
"One of the remarkable features of Canadian life is the extent to which we reach beyond our families and friends to contribute to others."
And young Canadians (15 - 24 years) volunteer more than any other age group. (The Canada Survey of Giving, Volunteering & Participating - 2007)
Calgarians are great volunteers. The spirit of sharing and caring is part of our western heritage. There are lots of places in the city and surrounding area where you can make a difference.
Volunteer Calgary has an expanded website that allows you to search for the perfect volunteering opportunity using KEY words. Search the many volunteer opportunities from 400+ organizations on our website.
TIP - Volunteer Calgary has its own library that is open to the public. Our library collects resources to do with volunteering, charities and the world of not-for-profit organizations. It is open to the public and is located on the second floor of the Kahanoff Centre.
