Give your time
Your skills, time, and energy can make a direct difference in the lives of Tamil families in Sri Lanka — and in the Tamil diaspora community here in Canada.
Valluvam is run almost entirely by volunteers — dedicated people who give their time and expertise because they believe in the mission. Without volunteers, our programs simply could not exist at the scale and quality they do today.
Whether you bring professional expertise, technical skills, creative talent, or simply time and enthusiasm — there is a meaningful role for you. We match volunteers to opportunities based on skills, availability, and interest, and we invest in supporting our volunteers throughout their involvement.
Volunteering with Valluvam isn't just about giving — it's about belonging to a community of people who are changing lives together.

We match every volunteer to the right opportunity — here's an overview of the areas where we most need support.
Support our Malarum Mangaiyar and Kudil Mempadu programs with professional health and social work expertise.
Tutor children, run literacy workshops, or help develop educational materials for Kumaran Kudil and Ara-Vali.
Support Kudil Mempadu's housing program with construction planning, assessment, or hands-on building work in Sri Lanka.
Help Valluvam tell its story — through social media, photography, video, writing, or graphic design.
Help organise fundraisers, community events, and diaspora chapter activities that sustain our programs.
Support Valluvam's digital presence — website maintenance, database management, or software tools for our programs.
Fill in the form and we'll be in touch within 5 business days with opportunities that match your skills and availability.
All volunteers are screened and onboarded by our volunteer coordinator. We provide orientation, ongoing support, and clear expectations for every role.
If you're interested in travelling to Sri Lanka to volunteer directly with our village programs, please mention this in your application. We'll discuss logistics, timing, and what to expect on the ground.
We'll match you to the right opportunity based on your skills.
