Nonprofit Organizations in Oakville

GLOCAL Foundation of Canada is a non-partisan, volunteer-driven civic engagement organization focused on making public life more accessible, data-informed, and community-led. We design programs that help people understand how institutions work, develop digital and analytical skills, and participate meaningfully in civic and community decision-making. Our model combines youth leadership, professional mentorship, and applied project work. Volunteers contribute to research, data analysis, digital development, communications, outreach, and compliance. These projects feed directly into public-facing tools, reports, and community initiatives that strengthen civic literacy and improve access to opportunities across Canada. GLOCAL also maintains a micro-grant ecosystem that supports youth-led public interest projects. Through this platform, we provide funding, training, and evaluation frameworks that help young leaders turn ideas into measurable impact. Across all programs, our goal is the same: build practical civic capacity by equipping people with the skills, information, and networks needed to engage confidently with public institutions and contribute to stronger, more informed communities.

Earth Rangers is an environmental non-profit that empowers youth to take action for the environment. Our ER Teens program offers an opportunity for young Canadians aged 13-18 to take initiative for environmental causes they care about, such as wildlife conservation, climate change, sustainability, and more. By working remotely with staff, teens volunteer their time to complete an eco-action project of their choice; at home, at school, in their community, or online. Our flexible program ensures that teens can work at their own pace, while having the support and resources they need to make a positive impact.

Peel Region Educational Services (PRES) is a registered non-profit organization committed to providing free and affordable educational services to the Peel Region and beyond.
