Sample Position Title: Volunteer and Activities Coordinator

Sample Company Profile

Vol-N-Peer Community Centre is the result of a collaboration between our individual community leaders and our corporate supporters, such as Simon Fraser Health Unit, McDonald's Restaurants of Canada, and the Royal Bank Financial Group. While the youth from around our community had been the reason for opening Vol-N-Peer, our centre now offers services that address a much broader population, including seniors, adults in continuing education and persons with disabilities.
Much of our success has rested in the constant support of our volunteers. Their hard work and dedication have established a standard of excellence both in the services we provide and the atmosphere we encourage. We depend on the input of our volunteers and community members to determine the events, activities and services we provide.
