Welcome to the 2018 National Volunteer Week Campaign Kit! Joins us for NVW 2018 as we “Celebrate the Value of Volunteering – building confidence, competence, connections and community”. Volunteering is often seen as a selfless act; a person gives their time, skills, experience, and passion to help others, without expecting anything in return. And while volunteering is a form of service, many volunteers will tell you that “you get more than you give”. From opportunities to develop new skills, to finding deep and meaningful personal connections, the magic of volunteering is that it creates social and economic value for all: for individuals, families, organizations, neighbourhoods, communities and ultimately, for Canada itself. That immense richness is something to be celebrated. What is the value of volunteering to:a volunteer tutor who gets accepted into a competitive teaching program? the student who’s attendance, grades, confidence and social connections increase? a stay-a-home parent who volunteers in the office of a non-profit and learns to use new software in preparation to return to the paid workforce? a retiree who finds a new sense of belonging and community while volunteering?an organization that is able to stay open enough hours to qualify for an operating grant from the city? a neighborhood that finds itself with lower crime rates as their volunteer rates increases? The answer is different for everyone and it isn’t simply about dollars - although many have successfully built arguments that volunteer involvement across Canada is worth tens of millions of dollars every month of every year. While there certainly is economic value, volunteering is measured in other essential things that are harder to quantify: in the ways it builds confidence, competence, and connections, in the way it builds community and, at the end of the day, the way volunteers create a more just and caring Canada. The impact of volunteering extends beyond a single individual, accruing compound interest by growing human capital one person, one neighbourhood and one community at a time; the value a volunteer contributes to their community can leave an impact that is seen for generations to come. When Canadians volunteer, everyone benefits. This year during National Volunteer Week from April 15 to 21, 2018, we will be celebrating the diverse value and far reaching impacts of Canadian volunteers and we are asking Canadians, like YOU, to reflect on the social and economic impact volunteers have on the quality of their lives.The documents in this campaign kit are meant to help guide you in planning, promoting and executing volunteer appreciation events that are successful. Feel free to adapt them to the needs of your organization in order to create the most rewarding and meaningful campaign for your volunteers. Because ultimately, that is the goal of National Volunteer Week; celebrating and appreciating the value of the volunteers that contribute so much to our communities. ................
