Volunteer Sudbury/Bénévolat Sudbury is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting volunteers and charitable organizations requiring volunteers. This is acheived through services that link individuals interested in volunteering with organizations in need of assistance. The volunteer centre is committed to promoting and encouraging volunteerism in our community and will work by acting as a central resource to individuals and non-profit organizations involved in volunteerism. The Sudbury Volunteer Managers’ Network (SVMN) is a group of volunteer managers (both paid and volunteer) who meet to share knowledge and resources. It is hosted by United Way/Centraide and Volunteer Sudbury/Bénévolat Sudbury. Youth Completing 40 hours of community service activities shouldn't feel like a chore.

Seniors With more Canadians retiring early, post-work years are becoming almost as long as work years. Many retirees are making this an opportunity to share their valuable skills while spending some time making a difference within the community. Volunteering... A Booming Trend Organizations are benefiting greatly from the knowledge, skills, and experience that retirees bring to organizations. Volunteer Sudbury frequently gets requests from local organizations for volunteers with a specific skill or experience. With the exceptional skills that retirees offer, senior volunteers are a valuable resource that benefit both the organizations and our community.
