Main Objective: Raise awareness and funds for ShelterBox Canada

Tasks

• Build relationships with local organizations, community groups and schools, and encouraging them to support ShelterBox
• Identifying and developing potential fundraising and promotional opportunities within your community
• Representing ShelterBox at local community events
• Speak at events and give presentations about the work ShelterBox does globally to ensure no family is without shelter
• Get creative - plan your own activities, all with the goal of raising funds and awareness about ShelterBox Canada
• Activate in times of disaster – when major disasters strike families need our help more than ever. During this time we need the support of our volunteers to share important updates about our current response. We need your support to share these urgent updates to your network and help us to fundraise while the disaster is in the media spotlight.
  
  

Skills: We are looking for volunteers who are good communicators; enjoy being a part of a team; are friendly and reliable; and above all have an enthusiasm for spreading the word and rallying support for ShelterBox Canada

Time Commitment: You can be flexible around your schedule and volunteer whenever works best for you, all we need is your enthusiasm and willingness to get involved. Whether it’s during the day, evening or at weekends, volunteers will often plan their activities around their other commitments.  It’s all about how much time you want to give. As a rough guide, we often find volunteers give 2-3 hours a week.

What you will get from us: We will support you every step of the way and are always accessible by phone and email.  We provide an initial onboarding, which includes information on ShelterBox and how you can serve, ongoing training, regular emails and webinars, and up to date deployment information.
