Every great volunteer program starts with great leadership. That’s the idea behind Volunteer Futures 2026, Volunteer BC’s annual conference for the people who power the volunteer sector across the province — and this year’s event is just around the corner.
Taking place online on October 1, 2026, Volunteer Futures brings together volunteer coordinators, nonprofit leaders, and community changemakers from all over B.C. for a full day of learning, connection, and inspiration.
What to Expect:
Volunteer BC has built this year’s program around the real challenges volunteer leaders face every day. Through dynamic sessions and hands-on workshops, attendees will walk away with practical strategies they can put to use right away, covering topics like:
- Volunteer management — building systems that support your team and your mission
- Recruitment & retention — attracting the right volunteers and keeping them engaged for the long haul
- Program development — designing volunteer initiatives that actually work
- Grants & funding — finding and securing the resources your program needs
- Social media for non-profits — telling your story and growing your community online
- Engaging youth volunteers — connecting with the next generation of changemakers
Whether you’re new to volunteer coordination or a seasoned leader looking to sharpen your skills, there’s something in this lineup for you.
