Volunteer Opportunities

A message from ARCPEI's Volunteer Coordinator Andrea Savidant:

"ARC Members,

My name is Andrea Savidant and I am a Volunteer Coordinator with ARC of PEI. I am sending out this message as a general call out. ARC is looking for volunteers for various different things.

I know you all love the dances at Mavors, I know I do! These dances would not be possible without the help of our volunteers! As you all know, Pride is just around the corner. Pride is another thing that would not be possible without a group of awesome volunteers. However, we are in constant need for more. That's where you come in! We are looking for people who want to help with such things as:

-- Setting up before dances
-- Tearing down after dances
-- Working the door
-- Pride
-- Floaters

If anything listed above sounds like something you'd be interested in doing, please feel free to contact me and we can get you started. If you have any questions about different volunteer positions, do not hesitate to ask. If you are interested in volunteering you can contact me at asavidant@upei.ca or you can visit ARCPEI's Volunteer Page.

Lets keep these dances going and make Pride beyond amazing! Come out and volunteer with ARC! "
