David Suzuki Book Tour - looking for volunteers in your province!
Hi Everyone,
The David Suzuki Foundation is celebrating its 20th anniversary this month. In recognition of this milestone, David will be touring the country with his latest book, The Legacy. During his appearances, David will reflect on the massive changes in the world within his living memory - from explosive population growth, to massive technological developments, to the establishment of a global economy. Ultimately, he expresses his faith in human beings' capacity for innovation and he urges us all to dream of a better world and to make it happen.
We are seeking committed and enthusiastic outreach volunteers to support these events. The full position description with dates & venues is listed on the current opportunities page, and I’ve attached it here for your convenience. To apply for this position, please send your resume and 100 words telling us why you would be an amazing Outreach Host. You can send your application, including your preferred event, to us at volunteer@davidsuzuki.org.
I’m predicting we’ll receive lots of applications, so if we can’t engage you for this role, it’s not because you’re not wonderful! Be sure to attend the event and the film in early October.
Best wishes,
Aryne
