• Recruit, train, and manage the ultimate Dream Team of volunteers.
• Maintain an up-to-date volunteer database.
• Keep new and existing volunteers informed about the organization.
• Match volunteers to opportunities that suit their skill sets, and ensure they understand their responsibilities and receive the proper training.

• Assist volunteers with submitting their expenses reports.
• Establish, maintain and balance various accounts using Quickbooks.
• Post journal entries and reconcile accounts.

Inbox Zero isn’t just a fantasy for our ideal Admin volunteer, it’s a reality day in and day out.

• Respond to email correspondence clearly, concisely, and do so in a timely fashion.
• Remain patient throughout those back-and-forth exchanges needed to, for example, schedule a furniture donation.. It’s worth it in the end.
• Use every opportunity to educate the public about Canadian Connections and the various ways they can support our work.

Canadian Connections is 100% volunteer-run. To support our refugee families, however, requires both financial and in kind donations. As a member of our fundraising team, you’ll help:

• Promote awareness of our mission and work.
• Cultivate new fundraising and partnership opportunities.
• Plan initiatives to help us meet financial goals.
• Form strong relationships with donors.

Exercise your leadership skills by heading up any of our service groups, e.g. drive team, furniture team, hotel team, education team. 

• Work with key volunteers to plan our services and their activities.
• Work with volunteer coordinator to ensure program tasks are filled.
• Schedule and organize team meetings, keep the troops motivated!
• Stay ahead of the curve. Report problem areas to strengthen our programming.
