All our friends in the community,

We have some exciting news to share with you.   Volunteer Vancouver has recently changed its name to Vantage Point.

Our mission, programs and membership benefits remain the same.

So why the change?

The world is changing.  Since 1943, Canadian society and the ways of volunteer engagement have undergone significant change – particularly with regard to technology, demographics and the workplace. 

Our organization has always changed to keep pace and stay relevant in the communities we serve.  At one time Volunteer Vancouver focused primarily on volunteers, but in the past 66 years we have established a unique vantage point - a new way of looking at how organizations work with people to achieve their missions. 

You may already know about how our vantage point inspires and builds leadership in the voluntary sector by inviting organizations to engage people who share a passion for their mission.  We believe our new name will encourage organizations to see the world through "a people lens" and look for new ways to engage the time and talent of paid and unpaid people. 

If you'd like to know more, please read our frequently asked questions and blog post regarding our new name, Vantage Point.    Do contact us directly if you have any questions or would like more information.

Warm regards,

Chilwin Cheng, Chair of the Board
Colleen Kelly, Executive Director
