What is ESV?

As described by Volunteer Canada, employer-supported volunteering is, “a continuum of employer support for employee volunteer activities. It describes a company that voluntarily supports its employees’ involvement in the community. Typically, employer-supported volunteer initiatives are integrated into the workplace and involve various levels of employer involvement and expenditure.”

What kind of volunteering can you do?

Anything and everything! ESV could be hosting a BBQ for a local organization, cleaning up parks as a team, serving at a soup kitchen, organizing a fundraiser, and much more. If you’re looking for a specific organization to get involved with or a list of volunteer opportunities please see our current volunteer opportunities page.

Why is ESV important?

Many non-profit organizations are delivering multiple services with minimal resources and rely heavily on the support of volunteers. With the increasing demand for community programs and decreasing supply of resources, volunteers play a crucial role in creating a stronger community.
