We are pleased to announce that we are working in partnership with Volunteer Canada on a new initiative, ‘Skills Exhange for Good program’.
Nous avons convenu de diffuser de l’information sur cette nouvelle initiative qui pourrait appuyer les organismes ayant des bénévoles spécialisés. Plus précisément, les organismes sans but lucratif dont la mission ou les programmes visent le logement abordable dans la collectivité. Plus précisément, les organismes sans but lucratif dont la mission ou les programmes visent le logement abordable dans la collectivité.
Since 2020, Volunteer Canada has been testing a model of skills-based volunteering. The pilot project, formerly called the Business Advisory to Support Affordable Housing, connects the skills of companies with the needs of non-profits addressing affordable housing, culminating in a two-hour virtual expert consultation that provides business advice to a specific organizational issue.
With the generous support of the Community Housing Transformation Centre and corporate partners, Volunteer Canada is expanding the program and its impact across Canada. The ‘Skills Exchange for Good program will now be open to non-profits addressing affordable housing across the country, and a total of 24 projects will take place in 2023.
Organizations can benefit from skill areas such as;
- Communications & Stakeholder Relations
- Facilities & Maintenance
- Finance
- IT
- Strategic Sourcing & Procurement
- Reviewing management systems, processes, & services
