Volunteer Manitoba Building Community, Building Capacity To meet those needs, we offer an extensive selection of workshops which we’ve organized into 3 signature series:
1.

Programs & Services

Training Services

We recognize that non-profits and charities sometimes require training that is specific to their needs. Organization Development
2. Volunteer Management
3. Board Development & Leadership

These workshops are held throughout the year, and are delivered in Winnipeg and in rural communities across Manitoba. We also offer Customized Training for individual organizations – which could be anything from facilitating a strategic planning session for staff or board, bringing one of our packaged workshops to your organization, or delivering a training session on a unique topic - developed specifically for your organization. Our workshop calendar can be found online at www.volunteermanitoba.ca

Referral Service

We are very pleased to offer our free referral and outreach service, which matches individuals who have an interest in volunteering with agencies who are seeking volunteers. Every week, agencies across Manitoba forward us information about available volunteer opportunities within their organizations, which we then share with the public. These volunteer opportunities are uploaded to our website, where individuals can search by region and category and apply directly through our website. Individuals who are interested in volunteering and would like assistance with their search have the opportunity to book a ½ hour consultation with a staff member to determine their skills sets and interests. We then assist them in finding a position that best matches what they are looking for. Interviews and screening processes are performed by the agencies directly. Through our Community Outreach activities, we are able to connect with Manitobans on the benefits of volunteerism. We attend outreach events throughout Manitoba and also visit with classrooms, community groups and organizations to deliver presentations on community engagement and how to find the right volunteer opportunity.

Strong boards don’t happen by accident!

The Volunteer Manitoba Board of Directors recently took part in board governance training, led by the incredible Jackie Wild. This was a great opportunity to step back, build our collective knowledge, and strengthen the skills that support effective governance.

Investing in board development helps ensure directors understand their roles and responsibilities, feel confident in their decision-making, and have the tools they need to support their organization’s mission and long-term success.

When was the last time your board invested in governance training? 🤔

If it’s been a while, consider making board development part of your organization’s goals. A stronger board means stronger governance—and that benefits everyone.

Reach out to Volunteer Manitoba today to learn more about training opportunities available.

Volunteer Manitoba headed west last week, and what an incredible road trip it was!

First stop: Cypress River, Manitoba! We were absolutely thrilled to share in the excitement for a special Volunteer Appreciation Event. Huge kudos to the Cypress River - Holland Community Development Corporation and the Cypress River History Book Committee for hosting such a wonderful celebration.

The passion and dedication of these local volunteers truly shined through. We were honoured to celebrate with you.

From there, we kept the momentum rolling all the way to Brandon, Manitoba for a busy lineup of student events!

We hosted two fantastic Student Recruitment Fairs at Assiniboine College and Brandon University.

A massive THANKS goes to:

❤️ The eager students who came out, ready to learn about local non-profits, community groups, and charities to discover how to get involved and support their missions.

❤️ The organization representatives who generously gave their time, you all made an impact!

❤️ The campus faculty and staff for co-hosting and coordinating with us to make these fairs a huge success!

Then to wrap up an amazing trip, we took part in Brandon University ’s Career Day connecting with even more incredible students to chat about all things volunteerism ~ like how to get started, and how Volunteer Manitoba can help them on their journey.

We loved every single moment of this trip out West! A special shoutout and thank you to Canada Life Co for making this possible.

Wow—what a great day! 🙌

We had an incredible time yesterday at the Eastman Non-profit Leadership Conference, bringing non-profit leaders together for a day filled with learning, sharing ideas and building connections.

From thoughtful conversations and practical learning to building new connections across the sector, it was wonderful to see so many people come together to strengthen the non-profit community across Eastern Manitoba!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, shared their knowledge and helped make the day such a success! And, a VERY special thank you to our partners at Community Futures Winnipeg River for helping us bring this all together.

On September 30, Volunteer Manitoba's office will be closed in recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

This day is an opportunity to reflect on the lasting impacts of residential schools and to recommit ourselves to truth, reconciliation, and meaningful action.

The non-profit sector plays an important role in building stronger, more inclusive communities. Reconciliation is not a one-day event—it is an ongoing commitment to listening, learning, strengthening relationships, and creating spaces where Indigenous voices, leadership, and communities are respected and supported.

We encourage our non-profit community to take time on September 30th to learn, reflect, attend local events, and consider how we can each contribute to reconciliation in our work and in our communities.

Carman showed us what volunteering is all about!

Volunteer Manitoba was thrilled to host the much-anticipated Carman Volunteer Fair last week and WOW… what a turnout!

We kicked things off with students from Carman Collegiate connecting with incredible non-profit organizations and community groups, followed by visits from several local schools. Students were eager to connect and discover how their time, talents, and passion could make a meaningful difference.

Then in the evening, the doors opened to the wider community, filling the space with conversations, shared skills, and inspiration to get involved.

The message is clear: Carman cares. Carman connects. Carman ignites volunteerism! ❤️

A huge thank you to , all the community groups, Carman Collegiate, staff, students, and volunteers who helped make this long-awaited Volunteer Fair so worthwhile!

Attention Eastman Non-Profit Leaders!

We are excited to be teaming up with Community Futures Winnipeg River to bring the Eastman Non-Profit Leadership Conference to the region!

This is a chance to step away from the day-to-day, connect with fellow non-profit leaders, build your skills and take away practical ideas you can use within your organization.

From exploring different leadership styles and governance best practices, to communication and volunteer engagement strategies, this conference was designed with Manitoba’s non-profit leaders in mind! The day will also include plenty of opportunities for networking, sharing and learning from one another.

Join us on October 8th in Beausejour for a great day of learning and connecting.
