Volunteering
There is always a need for volunteers in our community and the ROC is no exception.
The operations of the ROC are overseen by a Governing Council of community volunteers. There are also opportunities for volunteers to be a member of a sub-committee or to get involved in individual activities and events.
We encourage residents to learn how to post information to our community web portal. The more individuals who contribute to the content of prospectcommunities.com, the better. For more information in posting content, please contact Jason Bungay at tech@prospectcommunities.com
The ROC welcomes support from volunteers in the role of Site Supervisors. A Site Supervisor would work out of our Terence Bay location allowing us to provide extended hours of public access to our C@P Site. Site Supervisors perform light office duties, provide a welcoming environment to users, answer phones, take messages and provide assistance upon request. If you are interested in becoming a Site Supervisor, please contact Barb Allen at barb@prospectcommunities.com or by phone at 852-2622.
Volunteer instructors allow the ROC to offer a wide range of learning opportunities in the community. If you would like to offer your services as a volunteer instructor please contact Dawn Langille at dawn@prospectcommunities.com
The Prospect Communities are very fortunate to have numerous grass roots community organization, as well as many local institutions that rely on volunteers to help them work toward a stronger healthier community for all residents of communities between Goodwood and West Dover in Western HRM, Nova Scotia.
Volunteers in the Prospect community are connected – to each other – to local residents – to HRM staff and elected representatives– to networks and resources – and to an effective, smart and cost effective means of communication that comes from the ground up – prospectcommunities.com
Through the Community web portal prospectcommunities.com the ROC is able to share our resources with other non profits and promote learning opportunities such as volunteer conferences, workshops and volunteer recognition and appreciation ideas.
Also through the web portal prospectcommunities.com we celebrate the many successes of our volunteer organizations. We feature articles on the value of volunteers and are passionate advocates for community based non-profits.
Volunteer groups are encouraged and supported to post articles and updates, invite residents to public meetings and to join their efforts.
It is because of this open and accessible exchange of information that residents are well informed and supportive of volunteer efforts and initiative.
