Decent Volunteering: Towards Decolonial and Anti-Racist Volunteering

Thursday, April 18, 2024
10:00 – 11:30 a.m., online

Over the last few years, volunteering rates have been declining in Ontario and organizations are reporting sustained shortages of volunteer labour. While efforts to recruit and retain volunteers are ongoing, this session will ask us to consider how organizations can advance decent volunteering and introduce guidelines for fostering decolonial approaches to volunteer recruitment and screening. Attendees will be asked to critique how systems of volunteer engagement exclude, harm, or marginalize some community members and imagine new ways of fostering communities of belonging in volunteer programs.

Facilitated by Kasandra James, Director of Programs at Volunteer Toronto.
