Resources and Supports for Organizations
At Volunteer Manitoba, we recognize that volunteers are the backbone of the non-profit and charitable sector. Regardless of the number of volunteers, there is a person at each organization, charity or community group whose job it is to recruit, train, supervise and recognize volunteers.
We know the challenges that non-profits and charities face when it comes to the recruitment, retention and recognition of their volunteers. To address those challenges we are here to provide extensive training in volunteer management, access to the latest trends and research, assistance in the recruitment of volunteers for your programs, and staff who have expertise and hands-on experience in the field of volunteer management.
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.
Online Volunteer Opportunities
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.
