LFO Volunteers Needed!

Ladyfest Ottawa Volunteers Needed! 
Info Meeting on Jan 31, 2012, 7pm at Bridgehead on Bank & Albert.
The not-so-secret ingredient to Ladyfest Ottawa’s (LFO) success is its volunteers, and we are recruiting!

LFO is a volunteer-driven, non-profit organization that is open to everyone. Since its inception, LFO has been showcasing women's artistic expression and sharing ideas through music festivals, performance, film & video, exhibitions, panels and workshops. We feel that providing a venue for women artists counters the obstacles and discrimination that women often face, including sexism, homophobia and racism. We try to address these issues in our events, along with encouraging a D.I.Y. (do-it-yourself), hands-on approach to skill sharing.

Our dedicated and multi-talented volunteers work tirelessly to make each LFO event notable. Everyone has a talent to share and all are welcome to join us!

What are we looking for in a volunteer?
  • Reliability
  • Comfortable working as part of a team in a fast-paced environment
  • Organized
  • Interested in music, arts, anti-racism, feminism and/or queer culture
  • Sense of humour

We are especially in need of people with skills in:
  • Accounting
  • Graphic Design
  • Social Media
  • Event Planning
  • Fundraising
If you would like to get more info about our plans for 2012 and volunteering with us, we will be having an Volunteer Information Meeting at Bridgehead (@ Bank & Albert) on Tues Jan 31st, 2012 at 7pm. If you can't make the meeting but are interested in being a part of LFO, please drop us a line at ladyfestottawa@gmail.com.
