Virtual Events Coordinator

Do you have experience with planning and executing virtual events? With most of our “live” fundraising events being cancelled for the foreseeable future with the current pandemic, we are looking for creative ways to take our events online and into the digital world.

We are looking for someone with experience who can help us set up and run online fundraising events. If you are interested in this role, please apply and include your experience in this field ~ platforms used, successful past events, or any other information you feel is relevant.

As a member of this team the time commitment is totally up to you! You can choose to join us for a short time to help us get virtual events up and running, or you can decide to stay on with us and perhaps build and lead the team!

Media Relations Team

Want to Join the NEW Golden Rescue Media Team?

Golden Rescue has received a lot of media coverage over the years. Our stories are out of the ordinary, poignant and heart-warming and have resonated with millions of viewers. CTV, Global Television, CityTV, Breakfast Television and numerous online news outlets have covered a wide range of stories over the years. Reporters repeatedly have been drawn to our stories about Goldens who have been transformed from rags to riches. We are a small, energetic team of three so far and we’re looking for one more person to join us who ideally (but not necessarily) has a media/public relations background and who can keep us organized and up-to-date with our local and national media contacts. We also need someone who is comfortable calling news outlets and reporters to follow up on stories that we have pitched. You are also welcome to be involved in our strategy planning meetings where we brainstorm unique, creative ideas to keep Golden Rescue top of mind and socially interactive and develop ideas to bring greater awareness to our efforts. We are a fun, dynamic team to work with where our motto is ‘every idea is a good idea!!’

This is a volunteer role, which may take up to 10-15 hours/month.

This is an important new team we are creating as there is nothing more valuable than the perfect Golden photo when it comes to adopting, fostering, fundraising, PR, and getting media attention. We are looking for volunteers with a good eye so, photographers … here’s your chance to use your skills. A few things that are critical are:

• a love of Goldens and photographing them;
• a dSLR camera a must;
• an understanding of ISO, aperture, shutter speed, exposure & composition;
• a sense of fun and creativity;
• the ability to travel within your locality; and
• comfortable using Dropbox or willing to learn.

If you’d like to be involved, please contact us.
