Current Positions
Volunteer Coordinator
We are seeking a volunteer coordinator to organize, recruit, and support a small group of volunteers. We are looking for an individual with strong computer skills and the ability to work independently and remotely. The volunteer coordinator works closely with office staff, volunteer board members, the marketing, and social media committees to coordinate recruiting new volunteers, and the presentations committee to coordinate volunteers for in-person and virtual events. The ideal candidate will be friendly with great communication skills and committed to inclusive and equitable experiences. If you’re interested in learning more about our non-profit society and the education and support that we provide to strata owners (condos, townhouses), we’d love to meet you for a virtual coffee!
