We have over 300 people with disabilities in Ottawa who are feeling isolated and alone, wishing they had a volunteer friend and advocate through our organization. Most of them will have to wait two and a half years to be matched. Will you help one person to get off of our waiting list?

Being a volunteer advocate is convenient, flexible, and rewarding. We match people one-on-one, who live in locations convenient to each other, and with similar interests and shared activities. You spend time with your match, with the possibility of also including your family and friends. You get together three or four times a month at your convenience, and do what friends do: go for coffee, take a walk, or get out to an event. This can have a huge impact in the life of someone with a disability who is feeling isolated and alone.

Organisme : Phoenix Players

Excited about theatre and love building things?

Phoenix Players, a community theatre group that performs at the Gladstone Theatre in Ottawa, is looking for someone to join our team of dynamic volunteers as a Set Building Manager.

The Set Building Manager should have some experience in set building, needs to have their own tools and be aware of the differences between theatre construction and residential/commercial construction. The former is light-weight and strong; the latter is more sturdy and heavy. Reusability is a key issue for us.

The Set Building Manager will be responsible for leading and directing the building crew and the move in and strike crews (who may not always be the same people) and be prepared to help in all aspects of the set building and moving.

We perform two shows a year, one in the fall and the other in the spring. The time commitment for the Set Building Manager would be about three months per show. This is not a full-time job, and the actual times required depend on the size of set, how long it will take to build and then dismantle.

During non-production times, the Set Building Manager would be responsible for maintaining the inventory of sets and set material at the warehouse and to keep our area of the warehouse neat and clean.

We are in the process of gathering volunteers for our fall production of “The Penultimate Problem of Sherlock Holmes” (which runs from Nov 23 - Dec 1, 2018).
