Itinerary:

IMPORTANT: This event is for people who are serious about becoming an active volunteer by organizing events for the COC.

Over the course of 90 minutes, participants will learn how to post events on the Calgary Outdoor website. After a basic introduction, each participant will create and post their own event. We will then go over how to make your event cool, with pictures, maps and hotlinks.

Those interested in becoming Volunteers will be paired with an existing coordinator, run 3 events and then, with the approval of the Volunteer Coordinator, receive their 'star' and the ability to post their own events!

Volunteer FAQ's

Q. Who will be giving the orientation?

A. I will. This will be my 820th or so event I've organized which includes court sports, Art Walks, overnighters, Zombies versus Humans and much, much more! There will also be Executive Members and experienced COC'ers who will share their experiences as well.

Q. I hate always being on a wait list, or having to drive a long distance to an event or car pool location. Whatever can I do?

A. Become a Volunteer! Have members sign up for events you want to do that are scheduled at a time convenient for you and occur at a location close to your home or work!

Q. If I become an Volunteer, how many events must I run to keep my status?

A. You need to run one event every three months. This doesn`t need to be anything complicated. It could be an invitation for people to join you to play squash, walk your dog or participate in an urban hike.

Q. How much does it cost to be a Volunteer?

A. The cost to become a Volunteer is free. Not only that, all Event Coordinators receive all the rights and privileges that a Premier member receives. (a $25 per year value!) Also, volunteers receive preferential selection for our training events and are granted admission to our annual Volunteer Appreciation event!

Q. What if I'm already a Volunteer, but need a refresher on organizing. Can I sign up?

A. Absolutely! If your goal is to become more active, we'll do everything we can to make that happen!
