Volunteers are crucial to the success of our BBQs and everyone is welcome to help us put on this great community event. This is a great way to meet others in your community and give back at the same time!
Our Google Form to RSVP is now closed. We look forward to seeing everyone who signed up at the training.
This is a great opportunity to learn about our BBQ operations, and do a walk-through of each volunteer shift. The training will run from 5:30pm to 6:30pm.
*PLEASE NOTE*: If you are unable to attend the Volunteer Training Session, you are still welcome to sign up and volunteer at a BBQ this summer! If you are a new volunteer, we will email you a short packet of information to review in advance. No prior experience necessary.
BBQ Volunteer Training
How can volunteers help at CAG's Community BBQs?
CAG's Weekly Community BBQs are volunteer-run events, which means that volunteers are essential to every part of our BBQ operations!
Shifts range from only 30 - 60 minutes, leaving you plenty of time to enjoy the BBQ with your family, friends and neighbours. Plus, volunteers eat for free!
Volunteer duties include working the cash, dicing up some toppings (lettuce, tomatoes and onions), handing out food, set-up/clean up and of course, working the BBQ! Children are welcome to join in and help out, except for grilling on the BBQ and working the cash, which both require an volunteer who is at least 18 years old.
