Volunteer Canada is the national leader promoting volunteerism in Canada. We promote quality volunteerism to strengthen communities and develop capacity in the voluntary sector to engage citizens as volunteers.

Volunteer Canada works closely with four provincial centres (including the federation of 110 volunteer centres in Quebec) and 86 local volunteer centres throughout the country. Our shared mandate is to promote excellence in volunteerism in Canada. Volunteer Canada members include national charities, associations, non-governmental organizations, corporations and individuals.

The four objectives of Volunteer Canada are to:

- promote the value and role of volunteers in Canadian Societies
- provide resources and leadership to the volunteer centre movement
- enhance the capacity of voluntary organizations to involve volunteers in their communities
- participate in the national dialogue on citizen engagement and civil society.
