RESPECT FOR UJAMAA GRANDMAS VOLUNTEERS We enjoy getting together. We like the work that we do and feel that there is a sense of purpose as well as a sense of fun. We feel that we are helping the broader community of African Grandmothers at the same time that we are helping other people here in the city. Through our efforts to raise money for the Stephen Lewis Foundation, we are also supporting each other. We are committed to the values of respect, patience, open- mindedness, compassion and kindness.

This role will actively be seeking out opportunities to share our message within the community. The role will also ensure articles have been submitted in a timely fashion for our monthly newsletter.

Volunteer Coordinator The Ujamaa Grandmas organization relies on many volunteers to ensure our events and fundraisers run smoothly. Recruiting and training those volunteers is a critical role within our organization. Fundraising committees working on events may engage this role to assist with recruitment, communications, and reporting. This role will also schedule volunteer shifts using Communal, as well as set up ticket sales for events. If you like multi-tasking, are adept at using modern technology, and like working in a fast-paced environment leading up to events, then this role is for you. We are looking for up to three people to co-coordinate the work to reduce the load during peak periods and back each other up throughout the year. We are eager to hear from you! Please express your interest at message@ujamaagrandmas.com.
