The Quebec Anglophone Heritage Network (QAHN) announced its new project, Fostering Organizational Renewal through Enriching Volunteer Experience and Recognition (FOREVER), has received funding from the Department of Canadian Heritage.
The goal of the 15-month project, now underway, is to provide the heritage sector of English-speaking Quebec with the capacity to increase the number of volunteers working in the sector and the quality of their contributions.
QAHN said, “Local museums, historical societies and other heritage and cultural institutions will be strengthened as a result of this initiative, while the communities they serve will benefit by the services and opportunities for personal enrichment that they provide.”
Working with experts from different fields, QAHN and its partners will explore “innovative ways to attract new volunteers, and offer guidance to organizations experiencing volunteer fatigue, thus helping to ensure the long-term viability of these institutions and the communities they serve.”
More information about the FOREVER project is on the QAHN website.
