ChangeTheWorld: Ontario Youth Volunteer Challenge is a three-week campaign between April 15th and May 6th, 2012 with one goal: get highschool teens to volunteer in their community.

Last year, the campaign goal in 265 communities across Ontario, was reached with 15,000 youth volunteering nearly 70,000 hours, 3 hours each over 3 weeks. That's a 24% increase in youth participants and 40% increase in volunteer hours over the 2010 campaign! We have a proud history of youth volunteerism so let’s make this campaign the best one yet!

Canadians have a rich history of volunteering and community involvement. Volunteers are on the front lines of all of our community services – community health care, heritage and arts, maintenance of green space, disaster relief, volunteer firefighting, minor sports – the list is endless. The work of the volunteer is essential work. National Volunteer Week (NVW) pays tribute to the millions of Canadian volunteers who donate their time and energy.
NVW is the biggest celebration of volunteers and voluntarism Canada has and Volunteer Canada is taking the lead on the celebrations every year. NVW campaigns were developed to help organizations and individuals from coast to coast to coast deliver their own volunteer week celebrations.
The 2011 campaign was developed to help organizations and individuals from coast to coast to coast deliver their own NVW celebrations the week of April 10 to April 16, 2011.
