Waterloo Region is filled with volunteers who contribute their time, talents, and effort to improve the places they live and bring joy to others. When you have the opportunity to see how many people are out there, looking to make a difference, it is always humbling just how lucky we are to have such an amazing volunteer force here in the region.
Since 2021, every year around National Volunteer Week, Volunteer Waterloo Region has released highlights of volunteers who are out there, making a difference and building community. We share these stories through video testimonials, and short stories that live on our website. With our updated website, we are looking to make sure that these stories continue to exist, and people are able to still see all of the amazing highlights we have created.
In the meantime, if you are interested in seeing what some of the volunteers were up this past year, you can check out this YouTube playlist with the 2025 highlight videos. It is thanks to our amazing partnerships with our members that we get to talk to all of these remarkable volunteers, and we plan on continuing this trend for years to come, bringing the spotlight to volunteers here in Waterloo Region.
