    Description

    We are currently developing a new events program and are looking for a few dedicated volunteers to join our team as Events Volunteer Lead. Event Volunteer Leads play a vital role in allowing the SC SPCA to say YES to as many events as possible, helping connect us with our community, highlight our amazing adoptable animals, and even sell a bit of merchandise along the way! Since staffing is limited, and many events take place on the weekends, we are seeking a select group of special volunteers to take on the role of Events Volunteer Lead.

    Events Volunteer Lead responsibilities

    Communicate with a SCSPCA staff member prior to the event.

    Serve as the main point of contact between sponsors and volunteers on the event day.

    Transport event tabling materials to/from venue.

    Coordinating transport of event animals as needed.

    Set up and manage SPCA table.

    Oversee and direct other volunteers on the day of the event.

    Supervise SPCA dog interactions and assess their behavior during the event.

    What we are looking for in an Events Volunteer Lead

    Someone who can commit to potentially a couple events each month.

    Someone who is dependable.

    Someone with good organizational, communication, and interpersonal skills.

    Someone who feels comfortable sharing information about the SC SPCA's programs, services, adoptions, and ways to donate.

    Someone who will positively represent the SC SPCA and is enthusiastic about our mission.

    Someone who is comfortable monitoring SC SPCA dog volunteers and dogs while out and about around town!

    Currently, we are looking for volunteer leads to handle day-of duties. All pre-event preparations will be handled by an SC SPCA staff member.

    If you are interested in becoming a key volunteer who will help us strengthen our community engagement while helping the animals at the SC SPCA, please reach out to Christina at christina@spcasc.org for info about how to become an Events Volunteer Lead!
