‘UNITE GRAVENHURST’ NETWORK CONNECTS VOLUNTEERS WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO HELP COMMUNITY

GRAVENHURST — A new initiative to help volunteers find the right fit for their talents has started up.

Unite Gravenhurst is organized by the Gravenhurst Chamber of Commerce in partnership with Trinity United Church — and other local groups, organizations and businesses — interested in working together in efforts to recognize and encourage volunteerism in the community as well as streamlining volunteer opportunities.

Their goal is to provide volunteer information and opportunities directly to potential volunteers, creating awareness, and allowing them the ability to easily try a magnitude of roles with different groups and events, without having to seek out organizers themselves, or commit to joining a specific group.

They encourage all potential volunteers to sign up to their dedicated Unite Gravenhurst volunteer mailing list.

Through subscribing, interested individuals will have volunteer listings emailed directly to them, outlining the details of each opportunity: date, event, role, time commitment, organizer/volunteer coordinator’s contact information, etc.

They hope to evolve the program into a partnership of community groups and organizations interested in working together to support each other’s initiatives to the benefit of our community as a whole.

Connect with them via Facebook and Instagram and their website all listed below.
