Over the last three years, Ontario has seen a dramatic decline in formal volunteering, but a huge increase in demand for services.
In addition to delivering programs and services Ontarians and others depend on, volunteering and community participation play a vital role in rebuilding trust and connection. So much of our collective trust has been worn down in recent years, beginning before but amplified by the pandemic. We’ve created a mindset of protecting and removing ourselves from community. By getting involved in volunteering we develop friendships, rebuild trust and further link our relationships within communities.
With many newcomers arriving daily, volunteering can foster a sense of community ownership, weaving connections across socio-economic status, age, race, gender, geographic region and profession. Just as each individual thread makes weaving stronger, we know that every volunteer’s experience, perspective and abilities make a difference.
