✨ EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT! ✨ DIVERSEcity’s Volunteer Program has been named a co-winner of the Best Nonprofit Employer Award – Volunteer Program – Over 20 Staff from Charity Village! DIVERSEcity’s Volunteer Program goes from strength to strength every year, providing approximately 250 people with volunteer opportunities at DIVERSEcity as well as in the community. For newcomers to Canada, especially, volunteering is a great way to help them succeed in Canada. They can gain experience, meet new people, learn about workplace culture norms, learn new skills and improve their communication. One of many volunteer-supported initiatives include our Bundle Up Campaign and our annual Income Tax Clinic for low-income Surrey residents where volunteers came in and assisted residents navigate the tax process. Thank you to CharityVillage for this honour and congratulations to our winning counterpart Covenant House Toronto! #ForPeopleForCommunities #charityvillage #awards #volunteers ... See MoreSee Less
