Volunteer and help send kids to summer camp!

So you want to volunteer at Toronto’s coolest waterfront event? Volunteering with Canoe Heads for Kids is a great way to give back to the camping community and help send more kids to summer camp! Our volunteers give kids the gift of summer camp by contributing their time and skills to this powerful fundraising event. If you are interested in volunteering with us, take a few moments to fill out our volunteer form and send it to volunteers@amicicharity.org. 

We are seeking energetic, enthusiastic volunteers to help us in the following areas of Amici’s Canoe Heads for Kids 2017. 

FOOD

• Alongside other Food Team members, you will direct paddlers to food and water stations, along their 15 kilometre portage and paddle down Toronto’s waterfront.
   

• Team members work directly with Amici’s food suppliers to acquire, deliver, and organize libations at the Canoe Heads starting line (Harbourfront Canoe and Kayak Centre HCKC), lunch break (Sir Casimir Gzowski Park), and finish line (HCKC).
   

• Food Team members have the chance to meet via an organizational meeting leading up to event day to ensure all systems are a go!

CANOE TEAM

• The Canoe Team directly supports paddlers with the safe handling of canoes on event day, mapping out the canoe staging area, and supporting trailer-to-land-to-water transitions.
   

• Canoe Team members have the chance to meet via an organizational meeting leading up to event day to ensure the coast is clear.
   

• *Note that crew members of our Canoe team are generally comfortable handling and tripping with canoes.

SOCIAL MEDIA

• The Canoe Heads Social Media team acts as the eyes and ears of the event for the participants, supporters, sponsors, and followers by posting and promoting creative content on all Amici social media outlets.
   

• As a member of this team, you are integral to spreading the Canoe Heads love and showing off the amazing work that the Canoe Heads supporters, participants, and volunteers are doing throughout the event!
   

• Social Media Team members have the chance to meet via an organizational meeting leading up to event day to prepare to rake in the ‘likes.’

ROUTE MARSHALS

• Route Marshals are the cheer leaders of the Canoe Heads event! You will use your energy and enthusiasm to cheer on and guide the participants on their 7.5 km portage across Toronto’s waterfront.
   

• Route Marshals answer portager questions and are the point person for emergency situations that occur en-route, ensuring that all teams are accounted for and safe in their expedition.
   

• Canoe Team members have the chance to meet via an organizational meeting leading up to event day to ensure the route to success is mapped.
