Creating an accessible and inclusive environment Volunteer Connections:

inclusive environment is one of four separate, yet linked, volunteer program management manuals prepared by Volunteer Canada. They are designed to assist the person who recruits, manages, oversees and supports volunteers, either as a volunteer themselves or in a paid capacity as a professional administrator of volunteer resources. These easy-to-use manuals address the challenges that organizations and groups face daily in seeking to involve people with disabilities, youth, and older adults as volunteers. This manual aims to assist organizations in diversifying their volunteer force to be inclusive of persons with a variety of disabilities, and discusses the impact, opportunities and challenges presented.
