Volunteer Week Celebrated with Enthusiasm at IDI

Projects May 5, 2025

We celebrated Volunteer Week with great enthusiasm, bringing together both new and longtime volunteers.

On May 3–4, IDI celebrated Volunteer Week with great enthusiasm, bringing together both new and longtime volunteers. The events featured presentations highlighting the vital role of volunteerism in building stronger communities.

In recognition of their dedication, returning volunteers received certificates of appreciation, while new volunteers were warmly welcomed with a special celebration. Participants also enjoyed a variety of delicious food throughout the events.

The atmosphere was full of motivation and inspiration, culminating in the decision to establish volunteer clubs at universities. Some of the young female volunteers stepped forward to support the formation and development of these clubs.

We thank Alberta Volunteer for their generous support.
