Description

About us - We are a nonprofit organization that is independent of any government funding. We use the power of advocacy to leverage better programs, policies and funding by the Government of Canada on the international stage to end extreme poverty. Our power lies in our people – our volunteers are passionate, committed, everyday people who want to make a difference by harnessing their power as constituents. With expert knowledge, Results creates strategic campaigns that enable volunteers to learn about issues of extreme poverty, and devise tactics to make speaking out to influential decision makers easier to do.

Our mission - We believe that no one should suffer or die from preventable diseases or lack opportunities, and that Canada must be part of the solution. By targeting the right people in power at the right time, we generate conversation about how Canada can do its share to lift people out of poverty. Our focus areas are global health, education and economic inclusion.

How you can help - We will connect you to other volunteers and to our staff so that you can multiply your impact using the transformational power of advocacy. As part of a group, volunteers take impactful actions by writing to the media, voicing their opinion on social media, and engaging with parliamentarians at the federal level. The aim is to guide Canada’s government decision makers towards decisions that give people living in extreme poverty the health, education, and economic opportunity they need to thrive. Volunteers also raise public awareness and help move your community into action beyond our borders. We are always looking for more people to speak up and join our volunteer network - come join a virtual info session to find out more! *Please note that all groups meet virtually until social gatherings are safe, but some Results groups may choose to continue operating online in the future*
