Mission United for Literacy, formerly known as Frontier College, is a national charitable literacy organization. We believe literacy is a right. We work with volunteers and community partners to give people the skills and confidence they need to reach their potential. Values Low literacy skills are directly linked to poverty, poor health, and high unemployment. United for Literacy's network of volunteers provides excellent and effective programming to improve literacy in communities across Canada, from coast to coast to coast. We value mutual respect and collaboration in all our relationships. In order to achieve our mission, we are committed to finding and using innovative ways to reach the people who need us most. Our literacy activities, programs, and services are inclusive of any individual for whom our assistance is welcome and needed.

MUN Minds is a collection of students at Memorial University who are committed to breaking the stigma surrounding mental illness both on campus and in the community at large. We endeavour to promote resources and projects on campus that are related to mental health. As a student society, we plan to support community groups that are involved in the field of mental health. Through awareness campaigns, fundraising events and advocacy, we plan to enrich Memorial University with a clear and progressive understanding of mental health.

There is a great need in our community for people like you to listen, believe, and support those affected by sexual violence. Our next training cycle begins January 30, 2024. Our volunteer supporters become part of a dedicated group of people who provide an invaluable service to survivors of sexual violence all across Newfoundland and Labrador. Involvement with the ESVNL provides volunteer supporters the opportunity to gain experience, knowledge, and skills in many areas, including crisis intervention, advocacy, not-for-profit organizations, and a variety of issues related to sexual violence. The trained individuals on our 24 hours crisis and support line are dedicated and passionate. Our volunteer supporters provide empathy, support, and trauma-informed responses for vulnerable individuals who need varying degrees of support. As part of this wonderful team not only will training be provided, but there is ongoing support and debriefing. Training is done virtually over zoom. This volunteer opportunity is flexible. Volunteers choose their own 4 hour shifts each month, and work from home. For more information email sva@endsexualviolence.com
