Benefits of Volunteering

CNIB was built on the work of volunteers: the leadership of Colonel Edwin Baker, who lost his sight in World War I, and six other dedicated volunteers led to the founding of CNIB in 1918.

Volunteering can be a rewarding experience in so many ways. Through volunteering with CNIB, you have an opportunity to:

  • Make a difference in your community
  • Support a cause you believe in
  • Put your skills and experience to work
  • Learn new skills
  • Make new friends and develop professional contacts
  • Combat social isolation and reduce stress
