Volunteer Impact
At Crohn’s and Colitis Canada, we see and recognize the impact of volunteers every day.
Volunteers across the country dedicate their time, effort, skills, and talents to help make the lives of those living with IBD better. Volunteers help to educate, advocate for healthy public policy, and contribute to fundraising so that Crohn’s and Colitis Canada can continue to fund critical research and life-changing patient programs.
Whether you have volunteered before, or if this is your first foray into the world of volunteering, there is so much you can bring and can learn from volunteering.
As a volunteer with Crohn’s and Colitis Canada, you can expect:
- To have a real impact on the IBD community by contributing to research funding to find a cure and quality-of-life programming
- The opportunity to be part of a community, meet new people, and expand your network
- A dedicated staff partner and role-specific training
- Continued thanks and acknowledgment from Crohn’s and Colitis Canada and the wider IDB community for your role and impact
- Regular volunteer learning and development opportunities
- Opportunities to expand your horizons as the volunteer program continues to grow and diversify.
- Quarterly volunteer newsletters to keep you up to date on the volunteer program as a whole
- References/verifications of hours upon request
