Ian Martin

Meaningful Work Volunteer Program

Do you dream of using your technical skills, education, and expertise to break down barriers and help others? Maybe your passion is installing safe water infrastructure, promoting local sustainable agriculture, or getting IT infrastructure set up for a global non-profit?

Whatever your dreams are, we’re offering you a once in a lifetime chance to help make the world a better place through further opportunities for meaningful work!

The 2019 Ian Martin Group Volunteer Program is now open for applications to pursue meaningful work either locally or abroad. The selected winner of the program will receive up to $10,000 to fund their experience. Depending on your availability, the experience could last from one week to one month. The funds will be used to cover all costs associated with the trip – such as travel, accommodation, and permit costs, etc.

On the application, we have suggested a few possible organizations that offer inspiring volunteer opportunities, but if you are already familiar with a registered charity that you would like to support, you can specify them on your application. Please note that your experience must be with a registered Canadian charitable organization.

Every little act creates an impact – together, let’s work to transform the world for the better, one meaningful work experience at a time.
