This #NationalVolunteerWeek, we are celebrating the powerful waves of kindness, commitment and community created by our incredible volunteers. This winter, DIVERSEcity volunteers made waves at the Surrey Fire Fighters Charitable Society's Gift Wrap Program at Guildford Town Centre. For more than four decades, we’ve counted on volunteers to support us in our efforts to help people and strengthen communities. From gift wrapping to helping people prepare their tax returns, our volunteers help make change happen every single day. Whether you're looking to give back, gain Canadian experience or grow your confidence, DIVERSEcity’s Volunteer Program can help match your passion and skills with meaningful opportunities.
