Training Resources

The Kings Volunteer Resource Centre is dedicated to supporting the volunteer sector with educational resources. We monitor trends, gather knowledge, build capacity, and share information.

Our goal is to foster strong foundations within social purpose groups to ensure that their work continues. We offer online workshops in the spring and fall, led by industry experts on various topics to help develop policies and practices to enhance the long-term growth of community groups.

Volunteering Counts: Formal and Informal Contributions of Canadians in 2018
Volunteering Counts: Formal and Informal Contributions of Canadians in 2018

Volunteer Canada is joined by Statistics Canada to hear highlights from their recent article based on data from the 2018 General Social Survey on Giving, Volunteering and Participating (GSS-GVP).

Volunteering gives people a place and the space to shape our communities. In 2018, 79% of Canadians aged 15 years and older reported volunteering, either formally as part of an organization or informally, on their own without the involvement of a group, helping extended family, friends, neighbours and strangers.

Altogether, 24 million people contributed to improving the health, well-being, education and safety of Canadians and enhancing Canadian communities.

Laying the Foundation for the Next 20 Years of Volunteer Engagement

2021 marks the 20th anniversary of 3 significant milestones for the non-profit and charitable sector in Canada:

(1) the International Year of Volunteers 2001;

(2) the launching of the first Canadian Code for Volunteer Involvement;

and (3) the signing of an Accord between the Government of Canada and the (voluntary) non-profit and charitable sector.
