Pivot Gifts for Change
It's hard to believe that 2009 is already drawing to a close! It has been a busy and exciting year here at Pivot. There have been struggles, but despite predictions that 2009 would break many non-profit organizations, I am happy to report that Pivot is going strong.
We know people are already starting to plan their holiday giving so, we thought we would give you some exciting options to turn the holiday spirit into a force for justice and positive social change!
We’ve made it easy with our Gifts for Change holiday catalogue– a unique offering of high impact gifts that provide real social return. This year, honour your friends and family and give them a gift for change.
Click here to give, and have a great holiday!

Volunteering
On most days our office, located on East Hastings Street, Vancouver, has many volunteers helping us. We have opportunities
for part time volunteering positions.
Some volunteers are professionals who would like to give their
experience to others while helping the community.
Others are
students, recent graduates and newly-trained professionals
who are trying to get local experience in their field. All
volunteers are the backbone of Pivot.

"Pivot is doing the work
for all of us, tackling the toughest issues and needs
of our times. They deserve all the support we can give
them."
