A MESSAGE FROM WEAVA
The Windsor-Essex Association for Volunteer Administration (WEAVA) is proud to recognize the wonderful work done in our community through the passion, commitment and love of our local volunteers.
As an organization, WEAVA exists to promote the importance of volunteerism within our community and strengthen the connections of Volunteer Administration through competent and passionate leadership.
The roles our volunteers play in the Windsor-Essex community cannot go unnoticed or unappreciated. Volunteers help keep our neighborhoods, organizations, streets, parks, river, green spaces and water safe. They deliver critical services like firefighting and meals. They educate our community on health and safety. They coach, mentor, and support in ways that allow their passion to transcend to those lives they touch.
It’s hard sometimes to completely understand the impacts of volunteerism on growth and prosperity of society. For this reason, publications like this are important to not only recognize but educate the number of Windsor-Essex organizations who utilize the talents and passion of volunteers.
In our 14th year of celebrating this important week through this Windsor Star insert you read today, we would like to thank each organization that has purchased the space to highlight how their committed group of volunteers has been critical to success. Thanks must also be given to the WEAVA executive team listed below who work very hard for our community and for the organization.
As we celebrate National Volunteer Week, April 23 -29, we thank the Windsor Star for their continued support in partnering with this insert. The stories you will read in the pages to follow are ones of dedication, inspiration, friendship, support, passion, and creativity.
The power of volunteering has been documented for the last 2,500 years and we encourage you to read how in this year volunteers continue to make a difference in Windsor-Essex.
