Administrative
From updating our database to stuffing envelopes to bookkeeping—administrative volunteers are very much appreciated and there are no limits to where you can assist! Toronto Wildlife Centre’s administrative and fundraising operations are conducted in a very dynamic, busy office. Since each administrative task is different, we provide on-the-job training and support throughout the volunteering process.
What You’ll do
Maintenance of our database
General office assistance: filing, shredding, organizing
Donation entry
Donor stewardship assistance e.g. thank you calls, letters, and similar donor relations
Direct Mail assistance: envelope stuffing, stamping, organization (can be done off-site; although, pick-ups and drop offs from the centre are required)
Time Commitment
Administrative volunteers are scheduled for a minimum of one 4 hour shift per week, Monday through Friday. As they will be supporting the donor relations and fundraising teams with their daily tasks, volunteers are required to work at the centre. Direct Mail volunteers are called upon once a quarter to help with the outbound mailings as needed.
