National Volunteer Week 2011
Sunday, April 10, 2011 – Saturday, April 16, 2011
Announcement from Volunteer Canada:
New Date for National Volunteer Week 2011
OTTAWA - April 10-16 is the revised date for National Volunteer Week 2011. Our priority is to ensure that Canadian volunteers are the national focal point during NVW. As such, the date change was made to avoid overlap with other holidays that fall within the same time frame. This update has been adopted by both Volunteer Canada and its American affiliate, Points of Light Institute. NVW was originally slated for the third week in April. We look forward to celebrating NVW 2011 with you.

International Volunteer Day
Sunday, December 05, 2010
International Volunteer Day takes place on December 5th each year and is celebrated in a majority of countries throughout the world. Its main goal is not only to thank volunteers for their efforts, but to encourage everyone to get involved and make a difference in their own communities.
Many counties have also utilized International Volunteer Day to focus volunteers’ time to help achieve the targets of the UN’s Millennium Development Goals, which aim to combat hunger, poverty, disease, illiteracy, environmental degradation and discrimination against women. Representatives from the media and academia, faith groups and even sporting and recreational organizations are often involved as well.
This makes International Volunteer Day sound like a celebration where only the big players are involved. But don’t let this stop you from getting together with your friends and volunteering or holding an event in your own community, because the bulk of the day’s activities really take place at the local level. Small groups of people all over the world will be volunteering their time in a variety of activities.
