RCRG's Information & Volunteer Centre serves two purposes, the first of which is to provide information on community resources.
If you want to learn more about an organization or program operating in Richmond, make your first stop our Community Services Directory. It includes contact information and program descriptions for hundreds of local organizations, so you're sure to find what you're looking for.
Of course, if you'd rather speak to someone in person, just give us a call at 604-279-7020, and our friendly and knowledgeable staff will be happy to help.
We also maintain a Community Events Calendar, with an emphasis on community. Our goal is to share what's happening in Richmond's vibrant non-profit sector, so you can get involved! You'll find everything from fundraising activities to educational workshops to art exhibitions, giving you endless ways to participate in community life.
Searching for a volunteer opportunity? You've come to the right place! RCRG is Richmond's Volunteer Centre, and we'd love nothing more than to get you started on your volunteer journey.
Speaking of which, the best place to begin is our Volunteer Opportunities Database. Featuring positions from over 50 local non-profit organizations, it's a smorgasbord of volunteer goodness!
Want to take your search offline? That's cool, too! Call 604-279-7020 to make an appointment with a Volunteer Match Advisor, who will help you find a position that fits your skills, interests, and schedule. An Advisor can also help you prepare for a screening interview, which most organizations conduct before accepting a volunteer. You can use the opportunity to go over your answers, or come up with new ones. In any case, an Advisor will make sure that, once you've applied for your dream volunteer job, you're well-equipped to complete the next steps.
Volunteer Match appointments are about 30 minutes each, free of charge, and available in multiple languages.
What is volunteering? How do you get started? What types of opportunities are there in Richmond? These are common questions, and often, it's easiest to answer them in a group setting.
We're available to give presentations at high schools, post-secondary institutions, conferences, community events, workplaces, and more. If you have a group that's keen to learn about community involvement, we're happy - delighted even! - to share information, resources, tools, and tips that will lead to memorable, rewarding volunteer experiences.
To schedule a presentation, reach out to Jennifer DeWolff, our Volunteer Centre Coordinator, at 604-279-7118 or jdewolff@rcrg.org.
Each year, we publish a pair of brochures highlighting local volunteer opportunities. The first, intended for a general audience, lists community organizations by category, from Animals & Nature to Healthcare to Sports & Recreation. Readers can thus find volunteer roles that align with their interests.
The second brochure is for youth, with organizations sorted by their minimum volunteer age, starting at 13+ and continuing to 18+. This way, when searching for volunteer opportunities, high school students can quickly identify organizations where they meet the age requirement.
If you're interested in displaying or distributing the brochures, you can pick up a set at our office. To arrange for this, please contact Jennifer DeWolff at 604-279-7118 or jdewolff@rcrg.org.
We also have digital versions of the brochures, available below:
