How the Canadian Advocacy Network Works

CAN has been developed as a connector, ensuring that charitable and not-for-profit organizations looking to access pro-bono services are able to be matched with interested professionals who want to volunteer their time and expertise.

Regardless of which side of the relationship you are on, the process to become engaged with CAN is simple. Fill in the information requested, tell us a bit about yourself and we go from there.

CAN’s function as a connector stops once an organization and CAN volunteer have met. From there on, the partnership is up to both parties to support, leverage and maintain. The CAN team provides best practices and advice to participants as necessary, but the structure of the pro-bono relationship is up to both parties to define in terms of parameters, time commitment, priority issues to focus on, etc.

It is important to note that any work between CAN and its partners is undertaken on a completely voluntary basis.
