- Promoting greater citizen involvement in volunteerism at the local, regional and territorial level.
- Working with NWT voluntary organizations to develop capacity and coordinated activity.
- Working with other governments and agencies to bring the benefits of other volunteer programs, national and other, to the NWT.
