The Ontario Volunteer Centre Network's 2014-2015 strategic plan focused on building network resilience through implementing communication, development, and technology plans. The network aimed to increase support for Ontario's Volunteer Centres by building their capacity to deliver programs and services, manage themselves, influence social policy related to volunteering, and generate revenue. Key objectives included improving the organizational framework, communication plan, membership plan, and developing a model for development. Strategic priorities were promoting the "Stepping Forward" program, establishing a volunteer management training network, implementing a technology plan, and building communities through partnerships such as the Youth Ambassadors for Change program.
