Story
"Volunteers are vital to our success," says Danielle Dalton, director of volunteers for the 2010 Northern BC Winter Games, taking place in Prince Rupert Feb. 4-7, 2010. "The Games bring important opportunities for sport and community development, and they would not be possible without enthusiastic and talented volunteers."
VolWeb.ca is a website that connects volunteers with events in their community. It's free for both volunteers and event organizers, and registration is fast and easy. VolWeb.ca was created by 2010 Legacies Now, with support from the Province of British Columbia.
VolWeb.ca helps organizations that plan community events, like festivals, fundraisers and sport competitions. These organizations may not have an existing network of volunteers from which to draw, and potential volunteers may need a quick and simple way to find short-term opportunities that match their interests.
The Games Society is seeking volunteers for roles ranging from scorekeeping at sport events, to assisting with entertainment at the Games Village or donning a security vest to help with traffic control. "We're looking for volunteers who share our spirit and passion in making this event a success," says Dalton. You can find this event and more on VolWeb.ca.
VolWeb.ca is unique because you can search for events based on your community, skills and interests. You can also choose to receive automatic email updates when new events are added that match your profile.
By volunteering for one day or one weekend, you can contribute to the health of your community. You can also have fun, meet new people and gain new skills. The rewards are endless, and will stay with you long after the event is over.
Visit VolWeb.ca today to find more volunteer opportunities in your community and throughout B.C.
