VolunteeringWorks!

Volunteer Canada initiated a project entitled VolunteeringWorks! in 1999. Funded by the Government of Canada and Gap Canada, the project was designed to help youth volunteers, as well as parents, teachers, counsellors and facilitators, make the link between volunteer activity and work experience, and to demonstrate the overall value of volunteering.
