Earlier today, Nadyne and I judged the Quill submissions, a Kin Canada National award that encourages the development of members’ written communication skills. Kin members submit their story at the district level, and each district is allowed to send up to two entries for consideration for the national award.

Making projects, fundraisers and overall, your service club, appealing to younger members is important; they are the seasoned volunteers and passionate members of our future! Youth volunteers currently have the highest volunteer rate among Canadians (but commit the least amount of hours compared to all other age groups).

This Sunday marks the beginning of National Volunteer Week (NVW)! From coast-to-coast, volunteer organizations are celebrating the efforts of their volunteers.

We’re wondering how our clubs are celebrating NVW. Don’t have any plans? Here are some easy tips to make this a fun, week-long event:

As National Volunteer Week rapidly appraoches (April 21-27), it's hard not to think about the extraordinary amount of time Canadians dedicate to volunteering each year.

The most recent Canada Survey of Giving, Volunteering and Participating revealed that Canadians spent over 2.1 billion hours volunteering in 2010. That's equivalent to almost 240,000 years!

It's International Women's Day and we have a lot to celebrate. Kinettes across Canada have made an immeasureable impact on Canadian communities through service projects and fundraisers.
