There are many ways you can join Results Canada and raise your voice against the injustice of extreme poverty. You can become a volunteer, a fellow, a donor, a part of our team, or a voting member. Whichever you decide, you will become part of a global movement of passionate everyday people who direct their energy and efforts in ways to make the greatest impact for people living in poverty.
Our volunteers are everyday people from across Canada - students, professionals, retirees - 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.
As part of a group, volunteers take impactful actions by writing to the media, voicing their opinion on social media, and engaging with parliamentarians. We are always looking for more people to join our volunteer network!

Recruit volunteers
When it comes to recruitment, there is nothing like word of mouth – especially coming from someone who already volunteers with us! Think about the people in your network and share details about how they can get involved: you can use these images on social media, invite folks to a barbeque, or attend a local activity. Have fun and be creative as it’s your opportunity to showcase what you care about as a volunteer. Make sure to tell people to visit our "join us" page (this section) and to click the "sign up to volunteer" button.
The Results Canada Education and Advocacy Fellowship Program is a 11-month hands-on advocacy and leadership training program for volunteers that develop 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. Learn more about this program.
As a nonprofit organization that is independent of any government funding, Results Canada relies on the generosity of donors to drive impactful campaigns to improve the health, education, and economic opportunity of those living in extreme poverty. If you can’t give your time as a volunteer right now or if you want to do a little more to help, you can become a donor and contribute to the development of tools and programs that support Results volunteers to take strategic action and create lasting impact. Become a donor today.
