VBY believes that the key to building a strong Yukon, with a strong volunteer spirit, lies in developing the skills and knowledge of the people who work and volunteer with non-profit organizations every day. The benefits are invaluable for both volunteers and the community. Volunteers cultivate their sense of belonging and self-fulfilment, and their acts of service and charity have help create a close-knit community, and a more resilient economy in Yukon. VBY plays an influential role in the territory, and has been highly praised for its efforts. This credibility has been solidified through the provision of funding for non-profit agencies, training services, matching volunteers with Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO), resources, and its online presence that gives any volunteer the opportunity to find a placement.
