[Susan Ferguson]

Please forward posting below regarding upcoming volunteer
opportunities.  Thanks.


Volunteers needed at the Broadway Youth Resource Centre...

Volunteer Information Night
Tuesday January 14 from 7 – 9pm

Come and find out about volunteer opportunities at the BYRC.  We offer a
variety of volunteer positions, a training package and other
professional development opportunities and on-going support and
supervision for our volunteers.

The BYRC depends on the support of the community; your time and skills
are integral to our ability to achieve our organizational goals and
mission.

We encourage people who reflect the communities in which we work to
apply.
(Aboriginal, Immigrant, Mt. Pleasant, Queer, Youth, etc.)

We have openings for the following volunteer positions beginning
January/February 2003:
* Resource Room Assistants
* Fundraising Assistants
* Housing Program Assistants

We are looking for people who:
-understand youth issues, particularly those related to ‘race’,gender,
class, ability & sexuality
-are willing to work as part of the centre’s staff and volunteer team
-understand and can maintain professional boundaries
-want to share their knowledge, skills and experience while developing
new skills and expertise
-are committed to fulfilling all volunteer training and time commitments

The Broadway Youth Resource Centre’s vision is to offer a safe place
that delivers integrated community based social/health services to the
at-risk youth population between the ages of 10-24 years.  As an
integrated site of Midtown services, our goal is to create an
environment that is youth positive, accountable to the community, and
offers a continuum of services that will decrease the possibility that
Midtown at-risk youth will become street entrenched.  We provide
resources for employment and housing search, a health clinic, cultural
programming, drug and alcohol counseling, social/recreational
activities, general support and advocacy and more.
