Event Greening: Stampede Breakfasts (July 6-11) - for all volunteers
Yahoo! We’re back for another year of Stampede Breakfasts. Through Green Calgary’s event greening programs, we help events to shrink their waste footprint by providing education on how to sort recycling, compost, and garbage. Your role as a volunteer will be to monitor a waste sorting station, assist eventgoers in sorting their items, and provide support for set-up and tear-down. Pre-event training will be provided.
Volunteers should be comfortable speaking with members of the public and must be 14 or older.
**The Super Volunteer program is back for volunteers available to sign up for more than one shift! Honoraria are available. After registering for more than one shift, Grace will contact you with more information. **

Green Connections: Early-Career Network. Ongoing volunteer positions - for all volunteers
We’re interested in starting a network for early-career professionals in the environmental sector to share resources, create connections and learn about new opportunities. The group is open to early-career professionals working in sustainability or persons interested in joining any area of the sector, including environmental education, engineering, consulting, communications, sustainable building, ecology, and beyond!
We would love for members of the group to have a strong involvement in its facilitation, including having a few key volunteers to help organize, spread the word, and help plan the quarterly meetups.
If you’re interested in a volunteer role with this group, please contact grace@greencalgary.org for more information.
