Youth Leadership - Junior Indigenous Costumed Interpreter
Have you always wanted to travel back in time? Are you excited to learn and eager to share your stories and culture? Do you like meeting people from all over the globe? As a Junior Volunteer, you will be paired with a Historical Interpreter who will help you to develop skills and a passion for history.
You'll bring Edmonton's rich history to life, learn about working in a museum and develop memories that will last a lifetime.
Commitment:The Junior Volunteer Program is committed to providing quality attention and mentorship for individuals aged 13-17 years. Participants are expected to volunteer once a week from 11am to 5pm (additional time will be determined at the discretion of the mentor and supervisor) over the months of July and August. Vacation time can be accomodated based upon mentor's schedule (a few weeks vacation will not necessarily preclude the candidate). Volunteers must be available for training the last Saturday in June.
Qualifications: Ages 13-17, this position is designed to offer a mentorship opportunity to the youth of our community. Volunteer profile acts as a resume and must be complete to receive an interview. This is a very competitive position and interviews are the basis for selection, as well as an opportunity for our youth to practice interview skills. All volunteers must complete a New Volunteer Orientation before their first shift, and complete a Police Records check at that time.
To sign up: Recruitment begins in February and postings close mid April. Interviews are held in late April. By selecting this interest, Volunteer Services will contact you when there is active recruitment for related positions.
