We are a nonprofit advocacy organization of passionate staff and volunteers committed to generating the political will to end extreme poverty in low- and middle-income countries. We focus our work on health equity, access to quality education, and economic inclusion.
what does generating the political will mean?
We mobilize everyday people (like you!) to volunteer their time to influence the Government of Canada and other global decision-makers. Our volunteers direct their energy and efforts at parliamentarians such as the Prime Minister, Members of Parliament, and senators, as well as global actors like the World Bank, because these leaders have the power to improve policies and make the monetary investments needed to end extreme poverty. We also raise awareness by writing letters to the editor (LTEs) and op-eds, using social media, fundraising, and more!
Oftentimes the first step is putting these issues on the radar – and keeping the pressure on. It might seem like a small step, but it all adds up to big impact.
is volunteering right for you?
Our volunteers are everyday people from across Canada – students, professionals, retirees, etc. – who give their time to take action, support each other to become leaders, and dedicate time to learn about the causes and consequences of extreme poverty and the solutions to address it. Consult these resources to learn more about what’s involved with volunteering:
commitment: 1 year minimum, 1-2 hours per week on average
support structure: Volunteers meet virtually in local groups on a monthly basis and rely on their group leader(s) for guidance. Attending other virtual calls and webinars led by Results staff is recommended.
