Several hands together

Volunteers and non-profit organizations are some of the key threads that make up the social and economic fabric of Nova Scotia. Every day, Nova Scotians depend on non-profit organizations and their volunteers to deliver valuable programs and services that help build healthy, vibrant communities.
