The Volunteer Well is an online marketplace connecting volunteers with those who have volunteer opportunities.
Nestled in the heart of Ontario, we’re more than just a community resource center. We’re a powerhouse of positivity dedicated to inclusivity, equality, and supporting our neighbours, boosting everyone in the neighbourhood, no matter their background. Through our platform, you can extend a helping hand or grab one if you need it.
Together, we’re unstoppable – filling the world with joy, one act of kindness at a time!
The vision of The Volunteer Well is to create opportunities for everyone to succeed through a well-connected network of community-minded individuals and organizations.
The Volunteer Well connects us through six core, universal values of humanity:
Dignity & respect
Each person has a special value derived only from their humanity. Their class, religion, ethnicity, gender, political views or any other discriminatory factors have nothing to do with it. All people deserve respect simply for being human.
Truth & honesty
Honesty and truthfulness promote positive and virtuous attributes including reliability, acceptance, sincerity, and work against self-deception, hypocrisy, and other forms of wrongdoing.
Justice, fairness & equality
The need for justice and fair standards becomes inevitable to develop social stability and a sense of belonging among community members. Every person is entitled to equal worth just by being human.
Love & care
Love and affection lead to positive emotions (compassion, humility, tolerance) and push us to become the best version of ourselves. Caring for neighbours, respecting others, and charity make our surroundings better.
Peace, freedom & independence
Every individual has the right to choosing a lifestyle best suited for them. It also means freedom from discrimination, racism, judgment, and more.
Unity with nature & protecting the environment
Protecting our environment has become an urgent moral obligation. Living in harmony with nature is the only way to minimize the threat to human development in the upcoming years.
Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge the relationship that the First Nations, Inuit and Métis across Canada have with the land all Canadians live on and enjoy. There are many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit people from across Canada who have lived on and cared for the land from time immemorial. We stand with all Indigenous peoples, past and present, in promoting the wise stewardship of the lands on which we live. We recognize that we must do more to learn about the history and current situation of Indigenous people so as to better understand our roles and take responsibility towards reconciliation as treaty people, residents, and caretakers.
