Event Coordinator/Supervisor
This is a very exciting position for an enthusiastic volunteer. This individual would be coordinating events throughout the Ottawa area to promote Victoria’s Quilts Canada and help raise funds. This individual would need great leadership and organizational skills. The schedule is flexible.Angel Volunteers
The angel volunteers provide help to internal VQC committees in the Ottawa area, such as the Quilt-a-thon Committee. These volunteers help out with a wide variety of tasks (eg. making phone calls – picking up donated items). This is a great opportunity for those who want to volunteer but are limited in time (great for those who only have evenings and weekends) or for those who do not quilt.
Public Relations Volunteers / Webmaster
The interested volunteers would join our dynamic public relations team to promote VQC in a variety of areas.
Delivery of Quilts in the Ottawa area
Those wishing to help with this work must have training in pastoral care, palliative care or counseling.
Fund Raising
We are seeking volunteers who would like to work on our Fundraising Committee. This team would work on a variety of innovative projects to ensure our financial security.
Quilt-a-thon Committee
From administration to public relations, a Quilt-a-thon committee member in the Ottawa area does a little bit of everything. Volunteer a few hours a month and get amazing results on the day of the event! (Last year 118 quilts were made at the event -- that’s helping 118 people with cancer in 1 day!!)
If you are interested in any of these positions, we would love to hear from you. Please contact us by e-mail or by phone at (613) 843-9212.
