**Who we are**:
Volunteer Alberta (VA) is a warm and vibrant organization that nourishes the conditions for civic engagement and volunteerism in the province.

Working in the spirit of mutuality and reciprocity, we work to provide services, share knowledge, and make connections to foster capability and capacity in the social good/voluntary sector.

Volunteer Alberta actively lives into our values of collaboration, integrity, learning, responsiveness, adaptability, and engaging in an asset-based approach.

Our collaborative principles inform how we work together and embody our values:
1. We agree to be open by default and intentional about collaboration. We check our assumptions and actively acknowledge them.

2. We don't assume collaboration means everyone being involved from start to finish. We give careful consideration to who needs to be at the table.

3. We operate from a beginner’s mindset. We are curious, ask questions, and listen to new ideas vs. judging or responding.

4. We practice active and empathetic listening. We still our minds, listen with all senses and listen without interrupting. We are respectful of people's opinions and thoughts.

5. We are in service of each other. We reach common goals by supporting each other and checking egos at the door.

6. We give everyone space/time to reflect and speak. It's okay to say "I don't know.”

VA deeply values its employees and their contributions to VA’s mission, vision, and community.
