The Power of Participation in Reconciliation
Reconciliation happens when we all do our part.
While the Orange Shirt Society itself has a small core staff and a volunteer Board, one way to support their mission is by actively participating & volunteering in or organizing local activities related to their key programs.
Opportunities to get involved.
From classrooms to crosswalks, communities are creating spaces for truth and healing.
The Orange Shirt Society partners with local groups to bring residential school education and recognition of Survivors into everyday spaces where people live, learn, and gather.
