New Volunteer Orientations

Would you like to help organize a special event?

Would you like to share your skills and talents with others in the community?

Attend one of the upcoming New Volunteer Orientations hosted by the VIBC Society.

The Vancouver International Bhangra Celebration Society (VIBC) is a not-for-profit organization established in 2004 to elevate and promote the Indian dance form of Bhangra. Each year, the VIBC Society creates a festival of Bhangra-related programming presented in the heart of Downtown Vancouver.

The VIBC Society is an entirely volunteer-run organization governed by a Board of Directors. The Board of Directors brings together individuals from diverse backgrounds to develop our vision and bring the joys of Bhangra to Vancouver.

Our team is a growing force and it is due to the efforts of our volunteers that we are able to realize our goal of elevating the dynamic dance form of Bhangra by embracing the spirit of celebration, generosity and community.
