What does political will mean? We believe in mobilizing everyday people (our volunteers) to influence the Government of Canada. We direct our energy and efforts at government decision makers like party leaders, Members of Parliament and senators because they have the power to improve policies and make the monetary investments needed to end extreme poverty. We also raise awareness by writing letters to the editor (LTEs) and op-eds, using social media, fundraising and more. 

Oftentimes the first step is putting these issues on the radar — and keeping the pressure on. It might seem like a small step, but it all adds up into impact.  

commitment: 1 year minimum, 1-2 hours per week on average 

support structure: Volunteers (virtually) meet in local groups on a monthly basis and rely on their group leader(s) for guidance. Attending other virtual calls and webinars led by Results staff is recommended. 

If you’re ready to learn about advocacy, causes and solutions to extreme poverty and committed to taking action every month, join us!  

Go to https://bit.ly/ResultsCanadaJoinUs and click on “sign up to volunteer” to get started. 

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!
