Opportunities
Please view our 2010 Schedule of Events.
The Rainbow Society relies on the dedication
and commitment of our volunteers. We are governed by a volunteer
Board of Directors, who give so generously of their time. In addition
to this, The Rainbow Society has a dedicated core of volunteers who lend support in a variety of ways. Although our volunteers do not directly interact with the dream children, we could not make dreams come true without their outstanding support.
Our major fundraising events, such as the Annual
Auction, Golf Tournament of Dreams, and Wear Green for a Dream, are organized
by volunteer committees. We also have other
fundraising events where we require volunteers to help out, and we would call you prior to the event
to see if you are available.

As a fundraising committee member you will assist in the planning, implementation, execution and evaluation of a Rainbow Society fundraising event. Duties may include: contacting and securing new sponsors, prize donors and helping to increase the number of attendees, obtaining prizes for the event, encouraging and supporting other committee members; acting as a liaison between your contacts and the fundraising committee. Additional volunteer hours are required outside of the meetings. Being a Fundraising committee member is a great opportunity to do something positive for others and at the same time sharpen your networking skills. Fundraising Committees typically meet monthly with more meetings closer to the event date.
Special Event Volunteer
This position is perfect for individuals who want to volunteer but are unable to commit to a specific time slot, but is based on your availability. You may be required to stand for extended periods of time. Special Events Volunteers help out at events either entirely arranged by The Rainbow Society or third party events which are arranged on behalf of The Rainbow Society. Time commitments at these events vary from 2 to 4 hour shifts to an all day commitment.

Office Support Volunteers help out at The Rainbow Society office with general office duties such as filing, assisting with phone calls, mail-outs, data entry, photocopying, updating various spreadsheets and other miscellaneous tasks.
Volunteers are most frequently required to provide assistance at the many events in which The Rainbow Society is involved. Not all events are lavish or large, some are very small and some are for public awareness purposes as opposed to fundraising. Whether it is a large scale event or a small 3rd party event they are all of equal importance to The Rainbow Society.
