Virtual

We seek a Social Media Manager based in the Simcoe-North area.  This volunteer position is likely to last 2 months or longer pending the student interest.  It is also highly likely that the student volunteer would gain great experience from the Digital Marketing aspect of the work as well as the electoral process, managing volunteers, team engagement, transformational change, building a data base, and a host of other intangibles.  It is also highly likely this engagement would result in significant KPI results to add to any resume.   I'm the Federal Green Party Candidate for Simcoe North and in the very early stages of beginning the campaign.  Obviously, a federal election has not yet been called.  Although, we do expect the call to come soon.   This is an immediate start with significant flexibility in terms of hours and commitment. For my part, I plan to continue to stay active in the riding (can't call it campaigning) through to the next federal election wiht the goal of winning the next one.   One can learn more about me here: www.linkedin.com/in/raylittlemba1 More about the Simcoe North Greens here: https://simcoenorthgreenparty.ca/ And of course, the Federal Greens here: https://www.greenparty.ca/en

Quest Art School + Gallery

These happen all year round so get in touch if you’d like to have valuable insight into what goes on behind-the-scenes! You can also help set-up displays for one of our varied fundraisers, which also involves teamwork and an attention to detail. You might also be asked to lift or carry items, depending on the event.

Reception and Greeting: An integral part of events at Quest is the welcoming face our visitors see when they first arrive. If you feel you are a friendly, welcoming person then you could assist us by greeting visitors, taking down their information or assisting with ticketing. This role requires someone well-presented and able to multi-task.

Workshop / Educational Support: There are many different workshops held at Quest Art School + Gallery, and off-site, to a wide variety of students. We offer classes to children, youth and adults of all skill levels. If you are curious, patient and eager to lend a hand, then you might be perfect assisting one of our instructors as they lead a workshop.

Off-Site Events: Quest Art, as a charitable organization, is often invited to a wide range of events in the Midland-Penetang’, and sometimes wider, region. These vary by season and year, so depending on where you can get to, you could assist at one of these events. Please let us know your preferences as this would be a real asset to us at Quest when seeking location specific volunteers!

    Do you want to support families living with cancer? Are you willing to commit 2 hours of virtual support per week to a child in need? Join Nankind as we lessen the impact of cancer on families through our virtual support programs. 

     

    Nankind offers rewarding volunteer positions for those who are looking to make a difference in the lives of families. 

     

    Virtual Volunteer Angels provide childcare support for parents who have been diagnosed with cancer, for those requiring palliative care, and for families requiring additional relief during the bereavement period to help reduce any stress or anxiety they may be experiencing due to their parent’s illness or death. 

     

    By meeting weekly, building trust, and having fun, our Angels help parents gain the confidence and peace of mind to rest or attend medical appointments, knowing their children are cared for and supported by knowledgeable and compassionate volunteers. 

     

    Our Angels receive specialized training and the support of NAN’s Child Life Specialist throughout their volunteering time.
