At VBY, programs are designed to support meaningful volunteer engagement and strengthen community capacity across the territory. Through our initiatives, individuals can explore opportunities to contribute, develop skills, and participate in activities that reflect their interests and availability.

Our programs also support local organizations by improving access to volunteers, training, and coordination tools. By bringing people and organizations together, these programs help build lasting connections and contribute to stronger, more resilient communities throughout the Yukon.
