Community Outreach Opportunity — Hair Massacure
Thursday, November 10th, 2011The Pirates has been given a wonderful community outreach opportunity coming up this February. It is the 10th Anniversary of Hair Massacure at West Edmonton Mall and it will take place on Friday, February 3rd, 2012. This event has grown immensely in the past 10 years and as such requires a large volunteer base in order to make it a smooth running, safe, and successful event. Our job at this event would be to act as security — any volunteers may be asked to attend an orientation at Hair Massacure’s discretion.
The job itself requires 15 volunteers for the hours of 8:00 AM – 9:30 PM. Depending upon the availability of the applicants, there is the possibility of working an early shift or a late shift, although participants are more than welcome to volunteer for the full event — this will be decided by the volunteer coordinator once all volunteers have been found. All hours count towards your volunteer commitment to the club. The security detail will primarily include ensuring safety of the guests and volunteers, and controlling access at the entrance and exits. All applicants must be comfortable being authoritative and maintain a professional attitude and manner throughout the event. There will be a crowd of over 5000 people throughout the day so it is important that applicants take this job seriously, as it is substantially larger than any security events the Pirates have done in the recent past. Applicants will be able to order (and hopefully keep) a Security T-shirt in their size if they volunteer before the end of November — late applicants will get a general size.
**WE ARE STILL SHORT AT LEAST 6 VOLUNTEERS FOR THE EARLY SHIFT (8AM TO 5 PM) AND REQUIRE AT LEAST 3 MORE MALE VOLUNTEERS FOR THE LATE SHIFT (5 PM TO 9:30 PM). ** This will help alleviate the need for individuals to work all day.
**Many companies offer paid time off for charitable work — if you require a personalized letter that details the work you will be doing, these are available upon request.**
If this is an event you are interested, please message our volunteer coordinator for the event, Scott Poirier as well as CC your reps (see contact info below). Please include the following in your email:
- Shift availability (8 AM – 5 PM, 5 PM – 9:30 PM, or both)
- T- shirt size
- any special skills you may have that make you a suitable candidate (examples, experience working security or volunteering for large events with similar expectations of attitude and manner)
