Volunteer Calgary has been helping people get involved in their community for over half a century. Our 3 year Strategic Directions lays out an action plan for Volunteer Calgary to achieve our mission. Volunteer Calgary's membership is made up of over 450 voluntary organizations that need volunteers to complete their work. We provide a critical link between these organizations and people who wish to donate their time to enrich our community. Hundreds of volunteer opportunities are listed in our searchable database, and local media help us promote our members' opportunities.
YWCA of Calgary is one of the longest serving social service organizations in Calgary. During our more than 100-year history, we have touched tens of thousands of lives and have continually evolved our programming to meet the changing needs of women in the community.
We support our clients in meeting their immediate, and most basic, needs and then work directly with them to create positive change in their lives. We believe that healthy women and healthy families lead to thriving communities.
