EPISODE 183 – National Volunteer Week with ECVO: Exploring Volunteer Motivations (Pt 1)

Volunteers are at the heart of strong communities, and National Volunteer Week is the perfect time to celebrate them! 🎉

We’ve teamed up with Scott Lundell from ECVO for a special two-part series exploring what sparks volunteer involvement, what keeps people engaged, and how organizations can tap into that momentum.

In Part One, Kayla Chan shares her journey from accessing services at Terra Centre to becoming a dedicated volunteer and staff member. Along with insights from Scott, she offers a powerful look at how volunteering builds confidence, creates lasting connections, and inspires the next generation of changemakers.

Stay tuned for Part Two, where we’ll meet Steven Lin and explore the shared threads and unique differences in their stories.
