MARK YOUR CALENDARS
NATIONAL VOLUNTEER WEEK 2024 WILL BE TAKING PLACE APRIL 27 - MAY 3, 2025
National Volunteer Week (NVW) is a time to celebrate and thank Canada's 24 million volunteers.
The theme for National Volunteer Week 2025 is Volunteers Make Waves. It highlights the power, impact and importance of individual and collective volunteer efforts across Canada. Like a wave, volunteering is movement building.
Water is in constant motion, always flowing, shifting, and transforming with every powerful wave or quiet ripple. And so is each volunteer’s contribution toward creating impact in our communities. Each individual volunteer contribution, big or small, creates momentum and has the power to influence and inspire, joining a wave of positive change.
DURING NATIONAL VOLUNTEER WEEK 2025, WE COME TOGETHER TO RECOGNIZE AND CELEBRATE ALL THE WAYS VOLUNTEERS MAKE WAVES FROM COAST TO COAST TO COAST. TOGETHER WE CREATE RIPPLES OF CHANGE. AND THROUGH THE POWER OF OUR AMPLIFIED IMPACT, VOLUNTEERS MAKE WAVES.
