Our Vision & Values

The vision of The Volunteer Well is to create opportunities for everyone to succeed through a well-connected network of community-minded individuals and organizations. 

The Volunteer Well connects us through six core, universal values of humanity:

Dignity & respect

Each person has a special value derived only from their humanity. Their class, religion, ethnicity, gender, political views or any other discriminatory factors have nothing to do with it. All people deserve respect simply for being human.

Truth & honesty

Honesty and truthfulness promote positive and virtuous attributes including reliability, acceptance, sincerity, and work against self-deception, hypocrisy, and other forms of wrongdoing.

Justice, fairness & equality

The need for justice and fair standards becomes inevitable to develop social stability and a sense of belonging among community members. Every person is entitled to equal worth just by being human.

Love & care

Love and affection lead to positive emotions (compassion, humility, tolerance) and push us to become the best version of ourselves. Caring for neighbours, respecting others, and charity make our surroundings better.

Peace, freedom & independence

Every individual has the right to choosing a lifestyle best suited for them. It also means freedom from discrimination, racism, judgment, and more.

Unity with nature & protecting the environment

Protecting our environment has become an urgent moral obligation. Living in harmony with nature is the only way to minimize the threat to human development in the upcoming years.

Land Acknowledgement

We acknowledge the relationship that the First Nations, Inuit and Métis across Canada have with the land all Canadians live on and enjoy. There are many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit people from across Canada who have lived on and cared for the land from time immemorial. We stand with all Indigenous peoples, past and present, in promoting the wise stewardship of the lands on which we live. We recognize that we must do more to learn about the history and current situation of Indigenous people so as to better understand our roles and take responsibility towards reconciliation as treaty people, residents, and caretakers.
