It is no surprise that the Kiwanis Enterprise
Centre would be at the heart of a volunteer centre project.
Years of assisting new businesses and a passion for social entrepreneurship
have left them uniquely well suited to foster such an endeavour.
With the assistance of the "What's Cooking?" Program, "E-Growth" and
the many and varied skills of the Enterprise Centre staff, Volunteer
Dawson Creek is off to a solid and well plotted start.
The Centre looks forward to helping both potential volunteers
and the agencies that depend upon them by following our four "cornerstones"
- Promoting
and facilitating volunteerism in our community.
- Providing
resources on volunteerism.
- Offering
education and training on volunteerism issues.
- Volunteer
opportunity referrals.
We help volunteers
find opportunities and agencies locate volunteers. We can also help both
volunteers and agencies access up to date skills training in:
• Popular computer software
• Website design
• Internet basics
• Business Planning
We've already started compiling a resource library,
with excellent information on many aspects of volunteerism. We are
always happy to hear from volunteers and agencies about issues that
effect them, plans for future volunteer events or stories of past volunteering
experiences.
