Volunteer week a celebration of those who help
From April 14 to 20,
2024 Volunteer Canada and Volunteer Lethbridge celebrate Canada’s 24 million volunteers during National Volunteer Week.
This annual celebration is a time to thank and recognize volunteers from coast to coast to coast.
This year’s theme is
Every Moment Matters. It highlights the importance of every volunteer and each contribution they make at a moment when we need support more than ever.
Volunteer Lethbridge connects volunteers with local organizations who have volunteer opportunities to be filled.
They also help non-profits run their organizations effectively by filling operations gaps and offering training, networking, and more.
To celebrate NVW, Volunteer Lethbridge has arranged a schedule of events that show appreciation for local volunteerism.
