We bring together a wide network by fostering inclusion, creating connections between volunteers and organizations, and offering space for dialogue and collective reflection.
The VBM supports organizations through peer exchange among managers, tools, training, and guidance, while also accompanying volunteers throughout their engagement journey.
From Helping Hand to Expertise:
Volunteering in All Its Forms
The VBM supports both volunteers and organizations, regardless of the type of engagement: individual or collective, personal or supported by an employer or organization. This engagement may be regular, specialized (skills-based), governance-related, or business-oriented.

Volunteer Stories
Marielle, committed volunteer!
"This summer, I volunteered at the Festival international Nuits d’Afrique. I welcomed the artists and was in the dressing rooms with them to help out if anything was needed. I also started volunteering at Résolidaire, an organization in Hochelaga. I run the bingo for seniors. A friend of mine is also a volunteer there."
Alan, volunteer receptionist
"I've been a volunteer receptionist for over six months. Since I live in Chicoutimi, I volunteer remotely. My role is to handle email requests and phone calls. I direct people who need help to the Center's services."
Mahacine, volunteer placement counselor
"I currently work as a placement advisor for aspiring volunteers. My role involves assessing the skills, interests, and aspirations of potential volunteers with a view to directing them to suitable volunteer opportunities. I also conduct regular follow-ups to assess volunteer satisfaction, gather feedback, and adjust my advice accordingly.."
