Homeward Trust Edmonton is recruiting volunteers to assist in the Fall 2013 Homeless Connect initiative on Sunday, October 20th. The bi-annual Homeless Connect initiative provides free appropriate services to people experiencing homelessness and those at risk of becoming homeless, on one day and at one location. Volunteers will be assigned one role from a variety of positions to facilitate a positive and meaningful experience for all guests in attendance. Volunteer responsibilities are specific to each role and may include welcoming guests, guest registration, assisting guests in locating services they wish to access, relief to volunteers requesting a break, and miscellaneous tasks to assist event service providers. Participation in this initiative offers volunteers an opportunity to be directly involved in connecting individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness with services that enhance their current situation. If you are personable, energetic, and are interested in participating in this exciting opportunity, please complete the attached application form and return it to [email protected]. Volunteer applications must be received prior to Friday, October 11th. All questions may be directed to Amy Krautt via email or phone – I can be reached directly at 780.944.2979 or [email protected]. It is important to note that all new volunteers must attend a volunteer orientation session to adequately prepare for this project. Returning volunteers are also encouraged to attend. Volunteers have the option of attending one of two orientation sessions. Sessions will be held at the Shaw Conference Centre on Saturday, October 19th from 10am – Noon and 1pm – 3pm. Thank you so much for your continued support. It is greatly appreciated!
