A strong Yukon with a strong volunteer spirit!

Volunteer Yukon's mission is to foster and promote volunteerism throughout the Yukon by providing easy access to resources, training, consultation, and support for individuals and organizations.

We opened our doors in April 2002. Since then, we have delivered dozens of training events, connected volunteers with organizations in need of help, celebrated and fostered volunteerism in the Yukon, gathered and shared information on how to work with volunteers or run a non-profit, and much more.
