About us
VO builds community by strengthening the not for profit sector through a focus on building expertise, fostering collaboration and promoting volunteerism. For over sixty years, we have been a leader in helping people make a meaningful difference in our city.
Our workshops and training sessions, inclusive programs, networking opportunities and database of volunteer opportunities ensure that individuals and not for profit organizations have the skills, knowledge and resources they need to make a difference in the lives of the people they serve. We support over 300 local not for profit organizations who serve children and youth, immigrants, refugees and New Canadians, indigenous peoples, seniors, persons with disabilities, the homeless, the hungry, the disadvantaged, people with medical conditions, and other vulnerable populations. Their activities impact health services, education, social services, crisis intervention, housing, community improvement, culture and recreation and the environment.
