June 15, 2022One of the many heroes of Covid-19 that has arisen is the volunteer.

Thousands of volunteers have stepped up to the plate to help where they can, answering the calls from the community.

June 06, 2022Recently I met with a group of volunteer management coordinators to discuss volunteer engagement. We talked about using volunteering as a tool to give immigrants Canadian work experience and thereby making them more marketable as potential employees. Good intentions aside, there is more to gainfully employing volunteers than the Boss or Board of Directors swooping in and instructing everyone to get more volunteers! Those following my blog know my opinion of ‘volunteer engagement’ and that it isn’t one of my favourite terms.
