By now, you have probably heard something about our upcoming Volunteer fair: Meet Your Match! You may have questions. We're here to answer them.

First, the event is May 8th, from noon to 4:pm. The purpose is to give those who may be web-shy or feel better speaking to someone directly an opportunity to talk to our member agencies and other non-profits who are looking for volunteers. Meet representatives face-to-face and discuss the joys of working with their organization.

How much does it cost? For you, our potential volunteers, nothing. It is a FREE EVENT for those coming to see what's up.

If you are a non-profit who is not already signed up, drop a line to the email in the link.

It's being held at the YMCA of Central East Ontario. No car? No problem. It's either on the Purple #7 route (Trent U Gzowski) or the #23 Red Community Bus.

We would love to see you come out. For more details, the event site is: https://volunteerpeterborough.ca/event/volunteer-fair-meet-your-match/

Mark that calendar!
