Volunteer

BNH Impact statement

At Brantford Native Housing, we are deeply committed to the revitalization and support of Indigenous communities through housing and programs. Over the years, our efforts have transformed lives, providing more than just homes but also a sense of belonging and cultural reconnection. Our initiatives work to reduce homelessness within the Indigenous populations in our community, foster community well-being, and preserve cultural heritage.

Philosophy of volunteer involvement

Community volunteers are the heartbeat of many organizations, especially small non-profits. They embody values of compassion, respect, and community, playing a pivotal role in bringing agency missions to life. Through their dedication, we’re able to extend our reach, deepen our impact, and strengthen our ties to the communities we serve. Volunteers offer a unique blend of skills, perspectives, and energies that enrich our programs and the lives of those we help. We see our volunteers as ambassadors of change, crucial to our vision of a future where every Indigenous household in our community has access to supportive, culturally resonant housing. Our hope is to continue growing this community of volunteers, fostering a space where everyone is inspired to contribute to the collective well-being of Indigenous peoples.
