About us

The Nanaimo Volunteer and Information Centre Society (NVICS), also known as Volunteer Nanaimo, has been acting as the central hub of the Non Profit and Volunteering Community here in Nanaimo since 1979.

Our business statement is:

"To partner in building the community’s quality of life through volunteer development; to provide leadership in voluntary action for all ages while sustaining the integrity of work."

 We accomplish this by:

  1. Promoting Volunteerism and raising awareness of the power of service.

  2. Building capacity for effective local volunteering through management consulting on volunteer programs and the training of volunteers and the management of volunteer resources.

  3. To provide leadership and support on issues related to volunteerism and volunteer programs.

  4. To connect people with opportunities to serve through recruitment and referrals of prospective volunteers to community agencies.
