Statistics Canada is conducting this survey on behalf of Employment and Social Development Canada to understand how young people are making a difference in their community. We are asking you to help us by sharing your views on community involvement and volunteering. Your participation in this survey is key to better understanding the impact of volunteering and the effectiveness of social programs and policies geared toward young people like you.
To ensure the most accurate and objective results, it is very important that everyone selected answer the survey questions. Responses from people who don't volunteer are just as important as responses from people who do. It should only take you about 15 minutes to answer the questionnaire.
Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.
