Featured Volunteer Organizations
Volunteer Strathcona gratefully acknowledges that we work and volunteer on Treaty 6 Territory and the homeland of the Métis Nation of Alberta, North Saskatchewan River Territory.
Our gratitude to the Cree, Métis, Blackfoot and other Nations who have shared this land with us reminds us that we all have a responsibility to not only take care of this land but also to take care of one another on our journey toward reconciliation.
At Volunteer Strathcona, we think volunteering is one of the many ways we can all strive to live up to this responsibility, by building community through connection to one another, and we are grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside others in this work.
