Volunteer Opportunities
There are several ways to get involved with SAAA. If you are interested in volunteering for one of the opportunities described below, or if there’s something else you would like to support with that isn’t listed on this page, please reach out to us - we would love to hear from you!
Event Hosts
We're always looking for more volunteers to help host events across Alberta! See the Events Committee page for more info.
Outreach
Community outreach is at the heart of our mission. SAAA often receives print material requests and event invitations, but we sometimes have to decline due to not having a local volunteer available. This can be as simple as distributing brochures to a community centre, or more involved outreach tasks like staffing a booth at a university student resource fair.
Fundraising
SAAA is entirely funded by donations. We work hard to keep costs low, but having more funds would allow us to put on larger-scale events, attend more Pride Parades, publish more print materials, and increase our presence in Alberta. These volunteers help brainstorm & support new fundraising ideas.
Content Creation
If you’re interested in sharing your experience with a-spec identities and how they interact with other aspects of your life, being a content volunteer is the option for you! Whether you're interested in blogging, filming an interview-style reel, or something else, we can find a space to share your story. Other opportunities may come up, such as designing new print materials, creating social media content, or contributing towards our next Community Zine.
Speakers
Speakers provide talks & workshops on various topics. Sometimes these are scheduled as part of our normal event offerings, and sometimes they are invited to speak at external organizations. If interested, our current Speakers will work with you to come up with materials and provide support as you gain confidence in representing SAAA.
