Are you passionate about community engagement and making a difference in the lives of others? Do you love to brainstorm creative ideas and see them come to life? We’re looking for a dedicated and enthusiastic Volunteer Events and Programming Director to join our team at the De Winton Community Hall.
As our Event and/or Programming Director, you will work closely with, and be supported by, the hall manager, the Board of Directors, and our Facility Manager. You’ll play a vital role in helping us create a vibrant, welcoming space for all. You’ll be the go-to point person for event and program hosts, ensuring they have what is needed to make sure everything runs smoothly from start to finish.
Your Responsibilities Will Include:
• Brainstorming and researching new ideas: Collaborate with our board to come up with exciting, engaging programs and events that will inspire and connect the community.
• Supporting event hosts: Serve as the main contact for community hosts, helping them to plan, execute, and ensure seamless operations.
• Helping with promotion and outreach: Work alongside our communications team to spread the word about upcoming events, programs, and community opportunities.
Who We’re Looking For:
• A creative and organized individual with a passion for community building.
• Strong communication skills, both in person and via email/phone.
• A self-starter who is eager to contribute ideas and make things happen.
• Someone who can work collaboratively with our board and with event hosts.
• Prior experience in event planning or community organizing would be a plus but is not required!
Why Volunteer with Us?
• Make a real impact in your community by helping create meaningful programs that bring people together.
• Gain valuable experience in event coordination, program development, and volunteer management.
• Be part of a supportive and dynamic team that values your ideas and contributions.
• Meet new people and build connections with fellow community members.
If you’re ready to help us bring exciting events and programs to life and make a positive impact in our community, we’d love to hear from you!
Please contact us at [email protected] to chat with someone about this position or for more information. We are happy to entertain ideas about this position. We know we could do more for members if we just had more help.
Let’s create something special together!
*This position could be divided between two people with one taking on Events and one Programming. We can be very flexible!
Event Hosts Needed!
We are also in need of event hosts. Our annual Western Dance has been cancelled this year because nobody stepped up to host this event. Please, if you have a bit of time and like to plan a party talk to us about hosting an event. Without volunteers to take the lead we will find ourselves unable to hold social events for the community at large, focusing only on outside rentals which is a shame. The DCA supports hosts in every way possible, but we still require people to come forward as there just aren’t enough of us on the board to do all that needs to be done to keep De Winton relevant and able to serve the community.
