One day volunteer opportunity
The Canadian Mental Health Association is looking for volunteers for its annual Ride Don’t Hide community bike ride. It is a super fun event, and this year is going to be the biggest year yet, with an estimated 2500 riders! In order to make the event a success, we need volunteers to fill a variety of roles. If you or anyone you know is interested in volunteering for this fantastic community event, please contact Anna O’Brien at 604-929-2199 ext. 3 or email at anna.obrien@cmha.bc.ca
The Volunteers…
WHO: You! Seeking volunteers 15 and older
WHAT: Route marshals, registration desk, or food services
WHEN: Sunday June 23rd, shifts are 4-5 hours
WHERE: The ride leaves from Swanguard stadium, so many positions will be there, but route marshals will be at varying locations along the course
WHY: Other than having a lot of fun, you will be contributing to an event to that aims to reduce stigma by opening conversation about mental illness – something that affects 1 in 5 Canadians. As a volunteer, you also receive food, a t-shirt, a reference letter with hours completed (if needed) and an opportunity to meet new people and have some laughs
