National Volunteer Week is quickly approaching and as promised Volunteer Canada has a few surprises in store for not only our members, but for the voluntary sector. Volunteer Canada along with Level studios has developed a video aimed at inspiring our country to say thank you to our 12.5 million volunteers across Canada. The video entitled Volunteers: All Around You paints a picture of the diverse and unique landscape of volunteers across our country and their daily impact. From coaches to mentors, community service workers to change makers, volunteers are all around and their efforts are at the foundation of our communities.

eZine True Story: What Happened When a Manitoba Charity Sought Help Online?

Without a budget for TV production, Macdonald Youth Services (MYS), a leading Winnipeg-based registered charitable organization, set out to recruit online volunteers to produce what is usually thought not doable via the Internet: create an engaging video awareness message that would illustrate MYS’s 75 year history in Manitoba. But the potential of the Internet to help non-profit organizations in one of the most challenging of tasks was unleashed. Online volunteers from Detroit, Michigan; Toronto, Ontario; Clinton, New York and Portland, Oregon joined virtual hands to produce a 30 second, 75 year time capsule TV PSA to illustrate MYS’s rich history.
