Opportunités de bénévolat à Barrie - Group

At Gilda’s Club Simcoe Muskoka, our Front Desk Greeters are much more than reception volunteers. They are often the very first smile someone sees when they walk through our doors, and that moment matters more than most people realize.For many individuals and families affected by cancer, coming through those doors for the first time can feel overwhelming. Sometimes the hardest step is simply showing up. A warm welcome, a friendly face, and a calm, welcoming environment can completely change how someone feels in that moment.That is why this role is so important.As Gilda’s Club continues expanding programming into evenings and weekends to better support the community, we are looking for additional volunteers to help us create a welcoming and supportive environment for members at all hours of programming.As a Greeter, you help create the atmosphere people remember. You help people feel seen, comfortable, and less alone. Whether someone is attending a support group, wellness program, social event, or simply looking for information, you help set the tone for their entire experience.Volunteer responsibilities may include:• Welcoming members and visitors as they arrive• Answering phones and helping direct inquiries• Assisting with sign ins and basic information• Helping maintain a warm and inviting clubhouse environment• Supporting staff with light administrative tasks when neededThis role is perfect for someone who:• Enjoys meeting and talking with people• Has a warm and friendly personality• Wants to make a meaningful difference in the community• Understands the importance of kindness and compassion• Likes being part of a welcoming and supportive environmentNo medical experience is needed. Honestly, if you can smile, say hello, and help people feel comfortable, you already have the most important qualifications.Volunteer opportunities are available weekdays, evenings, and weekends with flexible scheduling options.It is amazing how much a simple greeting can matter to someone having one of the hardest moments of their life.

We are looking for energetic, welcoming, and community minded volunteers to help bring several exciting upcoming events to life for Gilda’s Club Simcoe Muskoka.This summer, volunteers will have the opportunity to be part of some of the region’s most exciting community experiences, including:• Sunday Afternoon featuring the Matthew Good Acoustic Trio at a private estate in Innisfil• Our Community Walk and Concert featuring Bif Naked• Additional community and fundraising events throughout the seasonVolunteer roles may include:• Guest greeting and registration• Event setup and teardown• Silent auction support• Assisting with guest experiences and activations• Helping direct attendees and answer questions• Supporting fundraising activities• Photography, social media, and content creation support• General event support and hospitalityThese are not typical volunteer shifts sitting behind a table all day. Our events are designed to feel exciting, social, high energy, and community focused. Volunteers become part of the experience itself while helping raise critical funds and awareness for free cancer support services in Simcoe Muskoka.This is a great opportunity for individuals looking to:• Meet new people• Gain event experience• Support an important local cause• Build volunteer hours and community involvement• Be part of meaningful and memorable experiencesAt the end of the day, everything we do helps ensure local individuals and families affected by cancer have access to free support programs and services, because nobody should have to go through cancer alone.
