Welcome to Volunteer Edmonton. Our mission is “building healthy communities through volunteerism…one volunteer at a time”.

Volunteer Edmonton is a local nonprofit program dedicated to supporting volunteerism in the community.

Our goals are:

  • to elevating the awareness of the value of volunteerism to the community at large;
  • to advocating good standards of practice for volunteer involvement, and;
  • to facilitating collective action among organizations that support volunteerism

It is through these goals that Volunteer Edmonton will demonstrate leadership in volunteerism and facilitate sound stewardship of Edmonton’s volunteer resources.

In an increasingly 'disconnected' society volunteer involvement connects people of diverse backgrounds and abilities. It is potentially the place in which all have something to share with others. It is a place where diverse perspectives, skills, economic situations, interests, time and energy are appreciated. It's a place where human relations have the potential to be discovered, nurtured and valued.
