For more than 70 years, Volunteer Calgary has helped connect people, organizations, and communities through volunteerism. Through coaching, training, partnerships, and the VolunteerConnector platform, we support thousands of organizations and volunteers across Calgary, Alberta, and Canada.
We believe volunteerism is essential community infrastructure. Like public transit, libraries, and community centres, volunteerism strengthens belonging, resilience, and connection — and we help make that possible.

Work with us to strengthen volunteerism and community impact across Calgary and beyond.
Volunteerism strengthens communities, reduces isolation, builds leadership skills, and creates opportunities for people to connect across cultures, generations, and lived experiences.
Volunteers support food security initiatives, youth programs, newcomer settlement, environmental action, arts and culture, crisis response, and countless other community efforts.
When volunteerism is strong, communities are stronger. VolunteerConnector is the platform — a free, Canada-wide tool where organizations post opportunities and volunteers find their match.

We work one-on-one with organizations to build and refine their volunteer programs, providing tailored guidance that meets each organization where they are.
From designing volunteer roles to developing policies and procedures, we help organizations create the structures they need for lasting volunteer engagement.

A dedicated space for exploring equity, diversity, and inclusion in volunteer engagement — through dialogue, shared practice, and community-led learning.

We research how people want to volunteer and how organizations engage them, using data from the VolunteerConnector to advocate for stronger sector practices.
