Love Your Neighbour Club

2008

It all began in summer 2008 when a few of us from Light and Love Home (LLH) youth department decided to use our spare time to help out in the community through volunteering. These acts of kindness eventually inspired us to establish the Love Your Neighbour Club at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver Canada.

2009

We were inexperienced at first, yet in less than a year, we have recruited over a few hundreds volunteers. Soon our stories had even made it to the newspapers and our club spreaded to various part of Canada.

Collaborating with many international non-profit organizations, our volunteers visited orphanages and participated in humanitarian programs worldwide. Counting on our members’ support, we have added 20 more branches internationally.

2011

As our club grew, it became challenging to keep up with the volume of our day-to-day operation. To best support and communicate with branches abroad, in 2011, we decided to officially registered Go Volunteer - Love Your Neighbour Club as a society in Canada.

2013

In 2013, we established Love Your Neighbour club in Hong Kong. We were very excited to find many young people adopted our vision and becoming very engaged with their community. Because of their involvement and energy, the Hong Kong branch has become the fastest growing branch thus far.

2014

Having grown amply along this journey, we realized volunteerism should be something we do in all walks of life despites our age, gender and race. In recent years, we have begun to recruit volunteers among teenagers and seniors, connecting with more non-profit organizations, offering our help to more communities, and continuing to make the world a better place.
