Volunteer Week 2025
“Volunteers Make Waves” in Newfoundland and Labrador! National Volunteer Week is April 27 to May 3, 2025. This week is set aside each year to recognize and thank volunteers for the time and energy they contribute to causes that benefit our communities. It is also an opportunity to promote the benefits of volunteering to individuals and society.
Over 210,000 individuals in Newfoundland and Labrador volunteer an average of 161 hours per year with 3,400 incorporated non-profits and 3000 plus informal community groups.
Each individual volunteer contribution, big or small, creates momentum and has the power to influence and inspire, joining a wave of positive change. And is appropriate to our connection with the sea, building on the tides sent out before us, waves swell with each generation of volunteers. Our actions ripple out to broader community benefits, like improved well-being, increased social cohesion, and enhanced resilience in the face of change and uncertainty.
