Volunteer Alberta is a warm and vibrant organization that nourishes wellbeing and healthy communities of belonging by cultivating conditions for volunteerism and civic engagement in the province. Through a collaborative approach with our Board of Directors, our work is guided by and responsive to the needs of the people and organizations we serve.

Our employees share a passion for community, civic engagement, and a desire to enhance the quality of life in communities throughout Alberta by enabling social good/voluntary sector organizations, groups and communities to succeed.
OUR VISION

OUR MISSION
To nourish wellbeing and healthy communities of belonging by cultivating conditions for volunteerism and civic engagement.
OUR VALUES
Curiosity. Care. Collaboration. Authenticity. Courage.
OUR STRATEGIC ROLES
Volunteer Alberta has identified two key roles for our organization within the larger ecosystem to help us achieve our vision and mission:
Cultivator
- We are connectors: Volunteer Alberta convenes networks and collaborates across sectors to nourish relationships and advance collective work.
- We are collaborators: Volunteer Alberta works alongside member organizations and other partners to unleash collective insight, capability, and agency.
- We are change makers: Volunteer Alberta upholds and uplifts the value of volunteering and civic engagement in the structures and systems of the wider society to enable thriving communities.
Illuminator
- We are Dream Hosts: Inspired by our own experiences of Strategic Dreaming, we support our members and partners to envision positive futures that galvanize and focus work for positive change. We seek to contribute to the “futures literacy” of the sector, helping us lift our gaze to what is possible, to dream big and to honour our collective agency.
- We are Seekers: Through social research and design, decolonization of our practices, tracking developments in other jurisdictions, and other forays into the unknown, we listen for ways of doing and being that are seeking to emerge in support of communities of belonging and wellbeing through volunteering and civic engagement.
- We are Incubators: We support the prototypes, pilots, experiments and novel initiatives, and new ways of convening that are so important for finding positive ways forward in our rapidly changing contexts. “The path is made by walking,” and we welcome members and partners sharing ideas we might help incubate.
Why work for us:
VA deeply values its employees and their contributions to VA’s mission, vision, and community. It’s important to us that we collectively create an environment that is psychologically safe and meaningfully values inclusion, diversity, equity, accessibility and social justice. We co-create and implement working conditions that consider and nourish employees’ wellbeing and safety.
