About VXP

Make volunteer experience count.

Volunteer Experience Platform (VXP) is being built in Canada around a simple idea: volunteer experience should benefit both the organization and the volunteer, and every meaningful contribution should leave behind a useful, credible record that a person can carry forward.

Volunteer program

What to consider.

Volunteering should work for both sides

Organizations need meaningful contribution. Volunteers deserve clarity about the role, support while doing it, and recognition afterward.

Experience is more than hours

Time matters, but so do responsibilities, skills, relationships, accomplishments and impact.

Recognition should lead somewhere

A volunteer experience can create confidence, community, references, skills, relationships and evidence that supports whatever someone wants to do next.
