Volunteering builds and fosters community, belonging and inclusion. Through civic action, you are making a choice about the kind of community you want to live, work and play in.

United Way Guelph Wellington Dufferin manages a fantastic Volunteer Portal to help you find meaningful volunteer opportunities. 

As a community member you can explore all the options by interest groups, age appropriate options, or event by location.

As an organization, you can post (at no cost) all of the opportunities  you have for community members to get involved in your organization whether that is virtual or in person, once annually or maybe monthly.
