The Regina Work Preparation Centre Inc. (Work Prep) is a non-profit, charitable, community-based organization that has served the Regina community for 45 years. Over the last four decades, Work Prep has assisted over 20,000 individuals in their journey to employment.

Every day, individuals utilize our services to assist them in preparing for the transition to work by accessing individualized supports that reinforce job readiness and basic skills training.  This might be one to one vocational counselling, brief assistance in our computer resource center, group-based employability skill development or a 10 week paid program including group training and work placement for a young person.

Using innovative employment services that align with labour market needs, Work Prep also partners with employers to identify job seekers that match their required qualifications and provides ongoing connection and support for employers and employees to ensure success.

The Salvation Army Haven of Hope ministries provides emergency and social services to families and individuals that are disadvantaged and marginalized in and around the city of Regina. We run many transformative programs, to help lift people out of poverty, addiction and homelessness. These include "Lunch with Sally," preparing income tax returns, Christmas assistance, camp programs for kids, and bagged lunches for low-income school children.  We also provide direct resources to those in desperate need of emergency services: food hampers, clothing, baby supplies and even beds through our Sleep Country program. We drive these programs through our annual Kettle Campaign each year - which is where volunteers are most needed. Please sign-up today and support those most vulnerable.

The Shoebox Project for Women is a registered charity that collects and distributes gift-filled Shoeboxes to local women impacted by homelessness across Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

We aim to foster safe, supportive and inclusive communities by facilitating compassionate gestures of kindness between our supporters and local women experiencing homelessness.

For women who have been displaced from their homes and estranged from their families, special occasions can be particularly challenging. Often, women report feeling disconnected from society, invisible and alone.  A Shoebox gift is a powerful reminder for a woman that she has not been forgotten and that she remains a valued and respected member of her community.

For those giving gifts, The Shoebox Project is a tangible and creative opportunity to give back directly to someone in your very own community. It’s a small, simple gesture of kindness that has an immediate, positive impact on the woman who receives it.

At Volunteer Regina, we take pride in linking people with local nonprofit community organizations, supporting persons with disabilities, new Canadians, corporations and professionals connect to organizations in and around the city, helping individuals develop skills to advance their careers, and developing knowledge resources that support effective and efficient volunteer capacity.

The Youth Cannabis Awareness Program (YCAP) offers free programming to youth aged 12 to 24, as well as adults (parents/guardians and professionals) involved in the lives of youth. Informed by protective factors contributing to youth mental health, YCAP provides a multi-faceted approach to increase knowledge and skills supporting positive youth development.

YCAP takes a harm reduction approach and does not make value judgments regarding recreational cannabis use. The program aims to minimize risks associated with cannabis use by providing youth, and adults involved in youth’s lives, with the most accurate and unbiased information.

YCAP is a free education and prevention initiative funded through Health Canada’s Substance Use and Addictions Program and delivered by the YMCA of Greater Toronto across Canada.
