CSCNL CEO Colin Corcoran says “these organizations are the backbone of connection and support in our communities, but right now, they’re navigating real pressures - capacity gaps, burnout, and financial uncertainty.”
National and International Volunteer Week has come and gone but the Community Sector Council NL (CSCNL) is highlighting a growing concern and what they term as a “perfect storm.” Non-profit groups deliver supports that are for some people, vital lifelines; things like food security and mental health services. However, behind the scenes, there is rising demand, limited resources, and uncertain revenue, leaving staff and volunteers stretched thin. CSCNL CEO Colin Corcoran says “these organizations are the backbone of connection and support in our communities, but right now, they’re navigating real pressures - capacity gaps, burnout, and financial uncertainty.” These challenges are greater in rural and remote areas, which rely on a small circle of long-standing volunteers. As this dedicated group ages and steps back, communities are left asking: who will step in next?
