Greater Vancouver, join our kindness quest!

If you're thinking about volunteering but not ready for a long-term commitment, this adventure is for you. Bring your family and friends, explore what local organizations in the Lower Mainland have to offer, and try out different opportunities for a few hours at each activity. It'll be like an open house month for volunteering events without any strings attached. If you end up loving a certain activity or organization, ask us how to become a long-term volunteer for it!
Your April Agenda
