At the Sudbury Workers Education & Advocacy Centre, volunteers are an invaluable part of our work fighting for positive change in our community and have the opportunity to learn about workers’ rights, while gaining invaluable work and leadership skills. Community ambassador volunteers work in an educational capacity and are responsible for engaging with the community, raising awareness about workers' rights, and communicating feedback from members of the community. Community Ambassadors will assist staff at information booths at festivals and fairs and at presentations in schools and other community organisations; raising awareness and educating community members about workers’ rights and about the work done by the Sudbury Workers Centre. Multi-lingual ambassadors will also help with the translation of educational and other materials.
We are seeking community ambassador volunteers to help us out at when we are at the Saturday Farmers Market. We are looking to engage with the community and hope to get participants to take our workplace experience survey. We do not have a booth at the market, rather we are walking around talking to market attendees. We have acquired permission to do so. On the day of the event, if you require transportation to and from the event, please come to the office and you will be carpooled with the staff.
All volunteers will be required to go through a volunteer orientation session (approx 1 hour long) before they are able to volunteer with the Sudbury Workers Centre. Volunteer orientation sessions are regularly held on Wednesday from 5-6pm at our office (109 Elm St, Suite 209), however, other arrangements will be made if that time and date is unavailable to you.
