Doors Open Vancouver needs your help to make this first Doors Over Vancouver event a success. Volunteering is a tremendous opportunity to showcase Vancouver and its buildings to thousands of residents and visitors. We’re glad you’re interested!
They are looking for volunteers who are punctual, reliable and responsible who enjoy working with the public and are 19 years or older. They are recruiting for three types of volunteers: General Volunteers, Team Leaders and Volunteer Support.
- General Volunteers will be stationed at Doors Open buildings. As a general volunteer you will welcome guests to the facility, provide them with DOV related material, count how many visitors are arriving, and answer general questions. You will be required to attend a 1.5 hour training session in mid-September and volunteer for at 4.5 hour shift on Saturday, October 4.
