Virtual community work - Today, the Internet makes it possible for community workers and activists to expand their networks by identifying and contacting people in other communities who have similar interests and concerns. This could be loosely referred to as a kind of virtual community work.

Visible minorities - Within the Canadian context, this term (widely used in government statistics) refers to individuals who can be visibly identified and perceived as belonging to racial groups other than those of European origin - for this reason, a somewhat contentious term.

Voluntary clients - People who have chosen to seek services of a social worker.
