Join the Manitoba Eco-Network's Spring/Summer Volunteer Team!

The Manitoba Eco-Network is looking for extroverted, dedicated, well-spoken volunteers to join our volunteer Spring/Summer events team!

The 2026 schedule will include several public facing volunteer opportunities including tabling at public events, farmers markets, and other community outreach opportunities. Events may be indoor or outdoor depending on location. The spring/summer volunteer session will run from March 2026 - August 2026.

Volunteers should be able to answer questions about the Manitoba Eco-Network. Knowledge will include our organizational history, past work, and background for our ongoing community-led projects. (Information will be provided via onboarding process).

Volunteer duties will include:

• Packing all equipment and materials out at the end of the event


• Assisting in the return of all equipment/materials to the office


• Completing a brief "end of shift" report

The Manitoba Eco-Network encourages candidates of all physical abilities to apply. Physical accessibility needs can be discussed with your Volunteer Coordinator and/or Executive Director so that shift schedules can be designed to meet individual needs. (Ex: Volunteers who may need a mobility device can request to only be scheduled shifts at accessible venues).
