We are committed to providing volunteer opportunities that help drive positive social change, offer the opportunity for personal growth, and develop professional skills. Our volunteer team is the foundation that lets our Peer Support program offer fun events and activities for persons with disabilities. These events take place all over London, and they include everything from kayaking, to art workshops, to museum trips, and more.We offer a safe, supportive environment that can meet the needs of a broad range of people. We are happy to work with experienced volunteers, and we are very happy to train new volunteers. One of the core commitments we can make to you, as a volunteer, is that we will pay close attention to your time with us, from onboarding, to placement, to your eventual exit. We will make every effort to craft your volunteer role to meet your needs as an individual.Consider a commitment with us if you are:Returning to the workforce after an absenceA student hoping to compliment a class, or meet provincial graduation requirementsTrying to develop advanced customer service skills focused on event management and activity facilitationSearching for a friendly, professional environment to practice your social skillsVolunteers can expect a number of specific benefits from placement with our organization:Advanced customer service training. Many of our participants have diverse needs surrounding mobility, sensory processing, and communication. We will work with you to help you understand specific tools that will help you to meet such needs in an effective, thoughtful way.Professional presentation and time management. Our volunteer roles are public facing roles, just as much as they focus on delivering services to our participants. We will help you to understand the best way to showcase your strengths while working with the public as a professional. We will also take time to show you ways to develop your time management skills, including prioritization under pressure and task delegation.A strong professional reference that speaks to what you have done in specific terms. If you leave the volunteer program in good standing, we want to make sure that you have something concrete to show for it. A written letter of reference from a registered non-profit that has a track record of doing good for the public can be the difference between a job offer, and a job application that was ignored. We care about our volunteers, even after their time with us is done.

Results is an advocacy nonprofit that believes in mobilizing everyday people (our volunteers) to generate the political will to end extreme poverty in low-and middle-income countries. We focus our work on global health, access to quality education and economic opportunities. We direct our energy and efforts at government decision makers like party leaders, Members of Parliament and senators because they have the power to improve policies and make the monetary investments needed to end extreme poverty. We also raise awareness by writing letters to the editor (LTEs) and op-eds, using social media, fundraising and more. Oftentimes the first step is putting these issues on the radar — and keeping the pressure on. It might seem like a small step, but it all adds up into impact. commitment: 1 year minimum, 1-2 hours per week on average support structure: Volunteers (virtually) meet in local groups on a monthly basis and rely on their group leader(s) for guidance. Attending other virtual calls and webinars led by Results staff is recommended. If you’re ready to learn about advocacy, causes and solutions to extreme poverty and committed to taking action every month, join us! Use the following link to sign up to volunteer.FRANÇAIS Nous sommes un organisme de plaidoyer qui mobilise les gens du quotidien (nos bĂ©nĂ©voles) pour gĂ©nĂ©rer la volontĂ© politique pour mettre fin Ă  l’extrĂȘme pauvretĂ© dans les pays Ă  faible et moyen revenu. Nous concentrons notre travail sur la santĂ© mondiale, l’accĂšs Ă  une Ă©ducation de qualitĂ© et l’inclusion Ă©conomique. Nous concentrons notre Ă©nergie et nos efforts Ă  mobiliser les dĂ©cideurs et dĂ©cideuses politiques comme les chef.fe.s de partis, dĂ©putĂ©.es, sĂ©nateurs et sĂ©natrices, car ils et elles dĂ©tiennent le pouvoir d’amĂ©liorer les politiques et de faire les investissements requis pour Ă©radiquer l’extrĂȘme pauvretĂ©. Nous faisons aussi de la sensibilisation en Ă©crivant des lettres ouvertes aux journaux, en utilisant les mĂ©dias sociaux, en collectant des fonds et bien plus. Souvent, la premiĂšre Ă©tape est d’attirer l’attention sur ces enjeux et de les faire connaĂźtre — et de maintenir la pression. Cela peut sembler ĂȘtre un petit pas, mais les actions s’accumulent et ont ainsi de l’impact. engagement : 1 an minimum, 1-2 heures par semaine en moyenne structure de soutien : Les bĂ©nĂ©voles se rĂ©unissent (virtuellement) en groupes locaux tous les mois et comptent sur leur.s leader.s de groupe pour obtenir des conseils.
