Volunteering Otago is a non-profit organisation that works to support other non-profit organisations in the community through a volunteer matching programme, training, support networks, and advocacy.  Volunteering Otago also has a youth volunteering programme, a mental health recovery volunteering programme and in 2011 is piloting four volunteer hubs in Alexandra, Cromwell, Wanaka and Queenstown.

We are seeking a volunteer publicity team to help promote a Volunteer appreciation dinner that is to be held on June 18th 2011.  Ideally this team will be made up of two to four people, but could be easily managed by one person if desired. Team will be responsible for the following:

• Designing Volunteer Appreciation Certificates, Invitations to the event, Event Programme.
• Writing Press Releases before and after the event and submitting to local papers.
• Contacting local media (newspapers, tv, raido) and inviting them to cover the event.
• Coordinating with Volunteering Otago’s website administrator to make sure VO website and facebook pages are up to date with event info as well as newsletter.

NB: These are voluntary positions.
