National Volunteer Week 2022 is April 24 - 30!

Volunteers Bring Heart To Canada’s Communities!
The National Volunteer Week theme for 2022, Volunteering Is Empathy In Action, affirms the strong connection between volunteerism and empathy. This profoundly human connection is at the heart of healthier individuals and stronger communities.

During National Volunteer Week 2022, we celebrate the contributions of Canada’s millions of volunteers: their actions, their understanding, and their genuine concern for the world around them. South East Sport, Culture & Recreation District encourages communities to participate – below are some ideas of how to get involved:

• Ideas and Thought-Starters
• Download the 2022 NVW Campaign Kit. Share it with your community and volunteer organizations to recognize how they are making an impact in your community.
• Campaign Planner and Worksheet
• Social Media Post Ideas

Use the hashtags #NVW2022 #EmpathyInAction #VolunteersBringHeart during the week!
