Welcome to National Volunteer Week 2021 in Edmonton!

This year’s celebration is shaping up to be a unique one. Although physical distancing measures are in place, there are still plenty of opportunities for #yegvolunteers to get involved with causes they love and for charities to show thanks for the volunteers that push their work forward.

To celebrate Edmonton’s volunteers, we’re starting a city-wide conversation on why volunteers are essential to our city and its communities.

Throughout National Volunteer Week week, we’re encouraging non-profits, charities, friends, families, and volunteers alike to add to the conversation. Perhaps you’d like to thank a volunteer who inspires you, give kudos to an organization for the hard work they do, or simply share a story from your own volunteer past.
