Learning & Engagement
Volunteer Halton is the volunteer centre for Halton Region
As a pillar program of Community Development Halton (CDH), the volunteer centre has been part of the community for 40 years. The act of volunteering is found in all cultures, languages, and religions. Each year, thousands of Halton residents volunteer their time and skills to help make our community a better place. When they volunteer, they help improve the lives of others. And when they volunteer, they also gain a greater sense of belonging to Halton Region and their local community.
