Ottawa festival volunteers needed for focus group
Ottawa Festivals is developing a “new online volunteer tool” that will enhance volunteering in Ottawa’s festivals, special events and fairs industry.
The research team needs your input to make this a useful and successful tool.
We are looking for volunteers that have “previous volunteer experience” in the festival sector in Ottawa.
The volunteer tool will contribute to advancing the skills, knowledge and experience of volunteers in the festival industry.
This includes matching volunteers with the right volunteering position, as well as creating a virtual space for volunteers to communicate and to share their experiences. In addition, it will be used to deliver a number of workshops and seminars to help train and develop volunteer skills and knowledge.
Your opinions and views are crucial for the volunteer tool to be successful and sustainable.
We will be hosting four focus group sessions, please register for one listed below.
