Volunteer opportunities

DISCOVERY AND INTERPRETATION ACTIVITIES
During one of our activities, an expert will usually make a presentation on a given topic at the Visitor Centre and will then lead the participants walk in the Park while providing comments. Volunteers must arrive 30 minutes before the event to help set up the room, to greet the participants, to verify the registrations, etc. They also help with the guided walk and ensure the participants' safety during the outing in the Park. Consult our activities to get the full description ! |

PROMOTIONAL EVENTS
Share your enthusiasm by representing the Friends of Gatineau Park during various community activities or promotional events such as the Nature Festival, Heritage Day or Earth Day festivities, etc. Increase public awareness of our organization's mission and motivate people to join us ! |

COMMITTEES AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS
To fulfill its mission, our organisation divides itself into various committees overseen by a board of directors. Joining one of our committees will require about three hours of your time a month, maybe more depending on the commitment you choose to make. To find out more about our organization and to locate your place in it, please consult our presentation page. Don't hesitate to contact us, as new ideas and smiles will always be welcome in our meetings. |

OFFICE WORK AND TRANSLATION
The Friends of the Park rely on a single employee to coordinate a wide and varied range of administrative tasks. Any and all support for office tasks (eg., committee support, data entry, mailouts, replies to calls and email messages, filing, etc.) or to translation in either of the official languages will always be useful and most appreciated ! |
