Volunteers

Volunteers are the backbone of the Ontario Alliance of Climbers. There are countless opportunities for you to give back to the Ontario climbing community through the OAC; whether you’re looking to participate through event volunteering, running special projects, or keeping the organization running, there’s always a project to crush!

Volunteers that help keep our organization afloat have:

  • An intense passion for outdoor climbing;
  • Integrity, a self-starter attitude, and a passion for managing their own projects;
  • Excellent project management, communication, organizational and problem-solving skills;
  • The desire to work in a collaborative team setting; and,
  • An interest in attending bi-monthly volunteer meetings.

If you would like to get involved, please check out the opportunities listed below!  You can also fill out our General Volunteer Application, and we’ll be in touch when opportunities arise that fit your areas of interest.

Newsletter Editor

Are you a wizard with words?  Do you know how to reach and captivate an audience?  Are you comfortable working with email authoring tools, HTML, and graphics editors?

We’re looking for a Newsletter Editor to help us keep in touch with the Ontario climbing community.  A good Newsletter Editor is a self-starter, creative, and proficient at communicating via writing.

This is an ongoing role, with minimal time commitment expectations.  The Newsletter Editor is expected to attend monthly board meetings (2 hours once per month), and to craft and send out a quarterly newsletter (2-3 hours once every 3 months).

If you’re curious about keeping up to date with the latest climbing news, and want to help us reach the inboxes of climbers all over the province, contact us at info@ontarioallianceofclimbers.ca !

 

Permapotties Project Manager

We’ve been investigating the possibilities of installing permapotties at a few Ontario crags, in place of traditional portapotties.  We’ve already done some initial information gathering, but need someone else to take this idea further and determine the feasibility of such a project.

The ideal volunteer for this role will be detail-oriented, methodical, good with project management, and excited to move climbers towards a more sustainable future in the outdoors!  Bonus points for having a background in ecological studies and/or waste management, and an ability to talk about poop regularly without being disgusted 🙃

If this sounds like you, contact us at info@ontarioallianceofclimbers.ca !
