Katimavik Programs

Katimavik is Canada’s leading youth volunteer-service program. It gives youth the chance to take part in intensive service and learning projects that help change Canadian communities. Through their volunteer work, youth grow and mature into engaged citizens.

Our volunteers work full-time for not-for-profit organizations that play an important role in Canadian community development.

Our partner organizations work with vulnerable and marginalized groups in the impact areas of poverty reduction, social services, environment, arts and culture, sports and leisure.
