One of my favourite books is Joyspan by Dr. Kerry Burnight. In it, she shares a science-based approach to living well — one rooted in our lifelong capacity to grow, connect, adapt, and give, especially as we age.

It’s a message that rings true in our conversations with volunteers across Elgin County. Again and again, we hear that volunteering doesn’t just help the community — it brings joy, purpose, and richness to the lives of those who give their time.

A strong volunteer network makes Elgin County stronger.

In less than two years, Volunteer Elgin has helped build that network through our online volunteer portal, growing member partnerships, and two Volunteer Fairs connecting people with local opportunities.

We’re still growing — and awareness matters.

Please follow Volunteer Elgin and share our page with someone who might want to volunteer, post an opportunity, or learn more about what’s happening across Elgin County.

Together, we can make it easier for people to say:
“I’d like to help. Where do I start?” VolunteerElgin.org

Do you have volunteers in your organization? Please take five minutes to complete the VMPC survey.

Today, we launch something long overdue.

For the first time in more than 20 years, Canada is gathering a national picture of the people who lead, support, and strengthen volunteer engagement across the country.

Behind every meaningful volunteer experience are professionals building connections, creating belonging, supporting organizations, and helping communities thrive.

Now it’s time to better understand - and better support - the profession behind volunteering.

Today marks the launch of what is believed to be the largest national study on volunteer engagement and volunteer leadership in Canadian history.

Because we are all in this together: supporting leaders of volunteers so they can better support volunteers and strengthen communities across Canada.

This first phase of the National Profile for the Volunteer Engagement Profession survey will help us better understand:
🌟 Who is leading volunteer engagement in Canada
🌟 How organizations are supporting volunteer engagement
🌟 Where gaps, opportunities, and needs exist across the sector
🌟 How we can strengthen the future of volunteerism together

If you lead, coordinate, support, or engage volunteers in any capacity - we want to hear from you.

Your experience matters.
Your work matters.
And your voice will help shape the future of volunteer engagement in Canada.
