Join Us for the 13th Annual

Okanagan Volunteer Opportunities Fair!

 

Opening Ceremonies: 10 am   
Volunteer Speed Matching:  11 am and 2 pm
 

 

Last year, over 800 members of the public visited displays hosted by 80 non-profit organizations.  On-site media interviews attracted attention on event day.  One organization had 30 potential volunteers sign their follow-up list.

 

Try some of our checklists.  They can help you think differently about what you are looking for, and, what you have to offer.  Using the lists will give you a sense of how your skills and abilities can be of great value to non-profit organizations.  You can also learn more about yourself!

Volunteer Speed Match: Volunteer Recruitment Meets Speed Dating 

Finding your ideal voluntary role is similar to finding your ideal partner.  Squeeze 10 "first dates" into 30 minutes.  Learn enough from each non-profit organization to decide whether you share interests and passion for a cause.  Do they need the skills you have to offer?  Give only three minutes to hear their pitch and move on.  The morning session runs from 11 am to 11:30 am and the afternoon session runs from 2 pm to 2:30 pm.  A master of ceremonies will keep you moving.

 

About 80 local non-profit organizations will set up their displays and will be looking forward to meeting and talking with you.  You can learn more about the services these organizations provide, and how your contribution can make a difference.  Ask how you can help make Kelowna a great place to live.
