Canadian Code for Volunteer Involvement

On April 22, 2004, Momentum adopted the Canadian Code for Volunteer Involvement.

The Canadian Code for Volunteer Involvement, developed by Volunteer Canada, provides voluntary and not-for-profit organizations with a philosophical framework for involving volunteers at the governance, leadership and direct service levels. The Code outlines the values, principles, and standards for effective volunteer practices within organizations. It also includes the Organization Standards Checklist, which will assist organizations to evaluate and improve their volunteer programs.
