Volunteer programs

TELUS Days of Giving

Every spring, TELUS Days of Giving brings together team members, retirees, family and friends nationwide to volunteer and make a powerful positive impact on our local communities.

Community Ambassadors

Each year, close to 5,000 current and retired team members from across Canada devote their time and energy to volunteer in our local communities.

Volunteer rewards

For every volunteer hour a member of our team records in a calendar year, we make a $1 donation to the charity of their choice.

TELUS Match

We help our employees and retirees double their impact by matching donations to eligible Canadian registered charities, to a maximum of $2,500 per person, per year.
