Volunteer Waterloo Region has noticed a drastic decrease in the number of volunteers in the aftermath of the 2020 Covid pandemic.
VWR acts as a job board for local organizations and other non-profits who are searching for volunteers to keep their operations going.
Volunteer Waterloo Region is pushing to promote the benefits of volunteering in the community and encouraging residents to volunteer somewhere where their skills can be utilized.
Jane Hennig, the executive director of Volunteer Waterloo Region talks about the decrease in volunteering and its effects on the community, as well as the benefits of volunteering to both the volunteer and organization they are working with.
