Coordinator is primary person in charge of overseeing our Summer’s Volunteer
programs. Through the summer we have approximately twenty volunteers who are at
camp to supplement our program, facilities, and food services staff. The
Volunteer Coordinator li
aises with the mangers of those three areas leading up
to summer to assess needs for volunteers for particular projects or
re-occurring support and then design a schedule for volunteers around those
needs. The Volunteer Coordinator will participate in the general Pre-Camp
Training for Program Staff, but will also conduct their own day of training
with summer volunteers. Given that all staff and campers stay onsite at the
Evans Lake Forest Education Centre while camp is in session, the action never
stops and, accordingly, applicants should enjoy working in ever-changing and dynamic
work environments. Very strong organizational and interpersonal skills are a
must.
