our volunteer advocates are hardworking individuals dedicated to ending extreme poverty

Our volunteer advocates are the inspiration that has created Results’ impact for over 40 years! All across Canada, passionate individuals volunteer their time and take action to influence Canadian decision-makers to improve policies, create better programs, and increase resources to end extreme poverty around the world.

taking action

Whether Results volunteer advocates are new or seasoned, they are passionate and committed folks who want to make a difference in the lives of people living in poverty. They take action by:

  • Influencing parliamentarians (Members of Parliament, Ministers, or Senators) and other key decision-makers by calling, writing, emailing, or meeting with them
  • Publishing letters to the editor or op-eds in their local or national newspaper
  • Speaking out and posting on social media to raise awareness of pressing global issues
  • Attending webinars, conferences, and events
  • Donating and fundraising
  • Collaborating with other volunteers (and even winning awards for their efforts!)
  • and more!

going above and beyond

We are looking for the next generation of advocates and leaders who are committed to learning about the causes and consequences of extreme poverty and taking strategic action to address it. The Results Canada Education and Advocacy Fellowship Program is a 5-month hands-on advocacy and leadership training program for volunteers that develops in-depth skills in generating the political will to end extreme poverty. It is open to individuals aged 18 years and older who are based in Canada and who want to go deeper in their learning and commitment to make meaningful impact. Space is limited. Learn more about this program, including application details.
