Volunteer with us
The Rock and Roll Society of Edmonton has always relied on the generosity of volunteers. Volunteers built this organization and their involvement continues to be vital to our success.
Volunteers have shared their time and talents at Rockfest, smaller hall-parties, music events in local venues, our CAM concerts, our CAM Program, and much more. We are always grateful for their contribution to the Rock and Roll Society of Edmonton and our CAM Program.
Volunteers are a valued part of our team, and each position comes with benefits that are specific to the role, and may include one or more of the following (depending on the position):
Rock and Roll Society merch.
Food/snacks
A full meal
An opportunity to listen to amazing live music
Get to meet some really cool, like-minded people
Get to have fun - many of our events feel like a party!
Get to make a difference knowing your involvement supports our CAM Program for youth
There are several ways to volunteer with us, at one of our events, or in support of our CAM Program.
Volunteer opportunities
SPECIAL EVENTS
We host small music events that require volunteers in a few different roles such as:
Selling 50/50 tickets
Admission table
Working silent auction
Bartending
Evening shifts available.
Time commitment is approximately 3-6 hours depending on the event.
Location: varies depending on the event
Casinos, Bingos and 50/50 Sales
At all of our events and many other small local events, or large festivals, we host 50/50 raffles to raise funds for the CAM Program.
As well, we host 2-3 Bingos per month at Kensington Bingo and once very second spring, we host a casino. To say these are important volunteer roles is an understatement!
Time commitment varies depending on the event but are typically around 3-hours. You can expect to be on your feet for the majority of that time if you are working a Bingo or selling 50/50 tickets.
Locations also vary.
FUND DEVELOPMENT
We are looking for volunteers to help us secure donations for the CAM Program and from time to time, items for silent auctions, prizes, and raffles.
Role requires excellent attention to detail, developing and working from a spreadsheet, contacting local businesses to ask for donations and/or items or gift cards for our various fundraising events.
Flexible shifts available
Time commitment varies, depending on upcoming events
Location: work from home!
Board of Directors, Board committees
Once per year, we may be recruiting for Board members. Keep an eye on our social media to see when we announce a call for nominations. We also recruit committee members from time to time. If you miss the opportunity to serve on the Board, please let us know about any committee work you may be interested in as those dates are more flexible.
If you have any questions about these or any other volunteer opportunities please email admin@edrocks.ca
