Want to volunteer in Vancouver? We are thrilled to be one of several organizations selected to participate in Vancouver Timeraiser 2011. Taken directly from their website, an overview of the event:
Getting involved in your community isn’t always easy, so we’ve made it simple for you to find relevant and meaningful opportunities that fit your busy lifestyle.
The Timeraiser is part volunteer fair, part silent art auction and part night on the town. Throughout the evening, meet with different agencies and match your skills to their needs. Once you have made your matches, you are eligible to bid on artwork. The big twist is rather than bid money, you bid volunteer hours.
If you have the winning bid, you have 12 months to complete your pledge before bringing the artwork home as a reminder of your good will.
