The VRC also has a mandate to connect individuals to local organizations. Community members came to the VRC to find out about volunteerism and opportunities within the community. As part of our process with individuals, the VRC discusses reasons why the individual wants to volunteer, what type of opportunity they are looking for and what skills they have to share /want to gain. These individuals are then provided access to a voluntary sector databank, the “VList”.  they can search the VList to find organizations of interest.

Once your organization joins the “Vlist”, information on your organization and volunteer needs can be accessed by community members. Your organization can be added to the Vlist by completing the form below. The Vlist is a great tool to add to your outreach and recruitment strategy!
