Volunteer Experience

Along with my work experience, I do have extensive volunteer experience including:

Pineview Playground Coordinator:


This was a $65,000 project and involved fundraising, supervision of volunteers (62 volunteers),
purchasing of equipment and co-ordination of installation including: ground preparation, installation
supervisor, safety inspection, delivery of equipment and materials comprising of lumber, pea gravel and
cement. When I pitched this project to the members of the PAC, I had a projected timeline of 5 years,
we fundraised, planned and installed within 2 years. In this project I was in contact with many people
including the Regional District, School District, Prince George Rotary Club, Business Community, Parent
Advisory Council, Teachers, Parents, and Students.

Hot Lunch Coordinator:


Devised and implemented a new structured ordering and delivery system; scheduled and organized
volunteers, scheduled and ordered lunches by fax each week, researched and secured new vendors,
responsible for all monies collected.

Decorating Coordinator:
PGSS Dry Grad 2012
Researched and secured a venue for the event; the Prince George Roll-A-Dome. The theme picked by
the students was Cruising into the Future. I resourced scene setters online from a company in the U.S.
and a Mechanical Bull from the lower mainland among other entertainment for the night. There were
several main areas set up including a check in, casino, Tikki Bar and L.A. Promotions area. I also made,
borrowed and rented several elements for the event which allowed us to come in under budget.

Fundraising Coordinator:
PGSS Dry Grad 2013
The main fundraising events of the year included a pub night and silent auction also a fashion show and
silent auction. For the pub night I researched and booked the venue, supervised the event, printed and
sold tickets. For both nights I secured donations and picked up auction items, formatted and printed
auction sheets for each item and collected the money generated by the fundraiser.
With all of these positions I reported monthly to various committees and PACs including budgets and
timelines.
