Richmond Multicultural Community Services - RMCS

Thank you to our donors, partners, and community members for your support.
Your contributions help us continue serving Richmond with care and purpose!

Last year, our volunteers contributed time, energy, and care to support programs across RMCS. Their impact continues to strengthen our community. Thank you for all you do.

Wishing everyone a safe and restful Victoria Day.
Our office is closed today and will reopen tomorrow, Tuesday, May 19.

Our youth volunteers bring energy, creativity, and leadership to our programs. Here’s a short story from one of our high school volunteers about what volunteering at RMCS has meant to them.

“I began volunteering with RMCS in Grade 10, at a time when I was quite shy and nervous about speaking on the phone.

However, I have grown much more confidences during my time here. I truly enjoy being part of this community and appreciate everyone I’ve met along the way. I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute and support others!"

Volunteer Success Story!

“Working with RMCS was one of the best decisions I made for my educational journey in Canada. As a mature student balancing family, work, and future planning, I wasn’t sure what my next step should be. RMCS provided professional guidance, encouragement, and personalized support throughout my entire application process.

Beyond academics, their commitment to community truly stood out. I volunteered over 50 hours each year, and the experience enriched my life in Canada while allowing me to support others. The team’s patience, honesty, and genuine care helped me build confidence step by step.

I’m incredibly honoured to have received offers from SFU, RRU, and UVic — and I’ve chosen the Master of Education in Leadership at UVic. This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without RMCS’s guidance and encouragement.

I highly recommend Yoshimi and the RMCS team to anyone exploring higher education opportunities in Canada.”

💛 Thank you for being part of this meaningful journey.

Our Income Tax Clinic has officially wrapped up for the season, and we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to every volunteer who made it possible.

Your time, patience, and kindness made a real difference for our clients. Over these weeks, we watched you grow more confident, support one another, and bring so much positivity into the space. Getting to know each of you has truly been a highlight for our team.

Although tax season is over, we may still reach out if clients need help with late filing. And if you’re interested in volunteering in other RMCS programs — events, front desk, thrift store, or more — we’d love to have you continue with us.

Thank you for your energy, your teamwork, and the care you brought to the community.
We’re so grateful for you.
