Resources and Supports for Organizations
At Volunteer Manitoba, we know that effective volunteer recruitment is essential to building strong, sustainable organizations! Whether you're a small grassroots community group or a large charitable organization, someone on your team is responsible for finding the right people to support your mission.
We're here to make that process easier!
From sharing your volunteer opportunities widely to offering tools, training, and guidance, we help you connect with volunteers who are ready to make a meaningful impact.
Volunteer Recruitment
As a volunteer centre, it's our job to foster and develop volunteerism in the community as a whole. We do this by encouraging people to volunteer their time and by providing easy access to volunteer opportunities. We also work with groups and organizations to help enhance and promote their recruitment of volunteers.
Post your position on our website!
The Volunteer Opportunities section of our website allows you to recruit experienced and dedicated volunteers from across Manitoba. Once you become a registered user, you can post unlimited volunteer positions.
- Download instructions on how to register your organization.
- We also have this guide for creating a good Volunteer Job Description.
How to find your location?
Not sure where the location of your opportunity is in relation to the choices in the drop down menu on the website? As there are SO many subdivisions in Winnipeg and areas in Manitoba - we've used government designations to make it simpler.
- For areas in Winnipeg - use this chart.
- For Manitoba - use this list.
Helping you Get the Word Out
We forward new volunteer opportunities to the Winnipeg Free Press (and other select media), educational institutions and other key organizations for distribution.
Volunteer Manitoba's Social Media
We support your recruitment by reposting your volunteer positions on Volunteer Manitoba's
To have your volunteer opportunity (unpaid) shared on Volunteer Manitoba's social media platforms, tag us in your post: @VolunteerManitoba and use the hashtag #VolunteersNeededMB.
@VolunteerManitoba #VolunteersNeededMB
Free Press
The Free Press publishes volunteer opportunities on our behalf every Monday.
To have an opportunity published in The Free Press at no charge, please submit 3-4 sentences, written in the third person (they, their, them), describing the opportunity along with your contact information and deadline. Submissions need to be received by the Communications Assistant no later than Monday, 3 pm, for inclusion in the following Monday's paper.
Free Press retains editorial control and volunteer opportunities may be edited, or held over.
4) Volunteer Management Training and Resources
Our volunteer management training has been developed to help you learn practical skills to help strengthen your volunteer program. For more information on what we offer, visit the Training section.
We've also developed resources including policy templates, best practices, worksheets, and more. To view our offerings, visit our Resources section.
5) Volunteer Management Mentorship Program
This program is open to all volunteer engagers in Manitoba! The goal is to offer newer volunteer engagers an opportunity to seek advice and guidance from professionals who have worked in the sector for at least five to ten years.
Through the program, experienced Mentors will be paired with Mentees based upon shared areas of interest. In most cases Mentees are new to volunteer engagement and have worked in the field for less than 5 years.
