U+ Community — Unpaid volunteer opportunity

If you enjoy bringing order to busy days, this is a practical way to support your community. As an Administrative Support Volunteer with U+ Community, you will help keep everyday information organized and make it easier for staff, volunteers and participants to find what they need.

About U+ Community

U+ Community brings volunteers together to support community programs and events. Through U+ Volunteer Connect, volunteers contribute to practical projects in program support, administration, communications and technology.

What you will do

• Enter and update program, participant and volunteer information in approved records and spreadsheets.
• Organize shared folders, name and file documents consistently, and help digitize materials when needed.
• Help schedule meetings, maintain calendars and prepare simple agendas or meeting materials.
• Draft participant notices, reminders and routine communications for staff review.
• Check information for accuracy, flag missing details and provide brief updates on completed tasks while keeping personal information confidential.

What you bring

This role suits someone who is dependable, detail-oriented and comfortable with everyday computer tasks. Clear written communication and the ability to follow a filing or record-keeping process will help. Familiarity with spreadsheets, shared documents and email is useful.

What you will gain

Build practical experience in administration, record keeping and scheduling. See how well-organized information supports community programs, and strengthen skills you can use in school, work and future volunteering.
