Please Post far and wide!

The Ecology Action Centre is seeking an Outreach Coordinator. The position
will include coordinating volunteers, managing a newsletter, producing
outreach materials, increasing membership, participating in public events,
and responding to information requests.

Skills Desired:
Marketing / Promotions, Commerce or Public relations background
Excellent Communication skills (listening, oral, written, internet)
Planning / Organizational skills (manage priorities, complete assignments,
work independently with minimum of supervision)
Personal skills (team orientated, energetic, motivated, outgoing, friendly,
conscientious)
Computer skills (Microsoft Office – Access, Excel, Word, Internet, email)
Environmentally concerned with a knowledge of environmental issues.

Description of Position:
A big part of this position will involve recruiting new members.  This
requires a person who is not shy about approaching people / strangers to
become members, which will include phoning individuals, attending events and
possibly door-to-door canvassing.  The position also includes working with
the membership committee, maintaining the database and supervising summer
students and volunteers.

Volunteer coordination will also be the responsibility of the outreach
coordinator.  This will include welcoming volunteers and making sure they
find a place in the organization and their contributions are recognized, and
organizing introductory meetings for new volunteers and follow-up meetings.

This position will involve assisting in the managerial aspects of production
and distribution of Between the
Issues, EAC's quarterly magazine.  Tasks include, but are not limited to
coordinating the production schedule, liaising with the editor, designer,
contributors, etc., finding a new advertising manager for the magazine, or,
failing that, soliciting advertisements, coordinating distribution of free
copies around metro and the province.

This job has the potential to become full-time and long-term if funding
opportunities arise. This is an excellent opportunity to work for a good
cause in a marketing/organizational capacity. At present the position is
funded for 6 months, but an extension is possible (and desirable).

Eligibility:
Funding for this position is provided by the Job Creation Partnership
Program. Applicants must meet local HRC office criteria. Must be unemployed
and in receipt of EI, or have received Benefits within the last three years,
