Upcoming Events
Volunteer Recruitment: Is It Getting Harder Or Is It Me?
Date: Wednesday, October 22, 2025
Time: 7:00 - 8:30 PM ADT
Location: Virtual Workshop
Hosted By: Kings Volunteer Resource Centre
Join us for a session that explores the challenges of volunteerism in our community. Every year it seems harder to find volunteers. Even when you have a great person step forward sometimes it seems like they make the work harder, not easier. Perhaps the time has come to take another look at volunteerism in our organizations, how we structure opportunities for people to step into, and how we successfully keep our work going. During this workshop we will turn around and look at volunteerism from a new perspective and explore what lessons we can learn from reconsidering the volunteer experience.

On The Road Again
Volunteer Canada and Volunteer Nova Scotia are hitting the road again this fall, organizing table talks across Nova Scotia.
This time we are asking volunteers and nonprofit managers to bring us their wish lists.
What types of resources would benefit your organization the most? What are the barriers you are facing in your organization? What kinds of tools and resources could make your work easier? Help us to better serve you.
Consultations are happening in Sydney, at the James McConnell Library Community Room from 10-12 on Nov 3rd, and Nov 4th in Antigonish at the community room at the Antigonish Town and County Library from 10- 12 on Nov 4.
