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.
