Volunteer.. .. .. ..

Let us know i f you'd like to help out on an on-call basis without receiving training, and which events interest you most. We'd love to hear from you. Get your application >HERE

LUNA volunteers must be able to work late evenings, usually Tuesday or Friday nights, and have a reliable way home.

No experience is needed, however ideal candidates have a desire to give back to their community, are resourceful, reliable, positive, a good host to our guests, and a friendly addition to the LUNA team. After five volunteer sessions, you'll be on our guest list for five LUNA-run events!

In November each year, up to 10 people (age 18-35) are chosen to participate in LUNA's Community Event Coordination training program.

This 11-month program (can be fast-tracked) includes six in-class training sessions with industry professionals:

• Risk Management
• Consummate Communications
• Event Management and Marketing
• Sponsorship & Fundraising
• Media Communications
• Whistler Spirit - after which you are eligible for a discounted ski pass.

Trainees assist with LUNA operations and promotion, gradually taking on more responsibilities until capable of coordinating an event. Upon successful completion of the program, a Community Event Coordination certificate is awarded, endorsed by the RMOW and RCMP.

Along with in-class training and hands-on event coordination experience, Volunteers receive bonus perks, including a LUNA hoodie, Spirit Pass (discounted ski pass) eligibility, media appearances and that tingly feeling you get from helping to make your community a better place.

Feedback from past trainees:

"Thanks for organizing such great speakers.  I am really getting a lot from the training sessions, and the speakers just couldn't be better." Sonja Cameron

"I had an Events Management course during my schooling period, and your program, being hands on was far more beneficial, I learned more that way about events and had a blast doing it. Thank you, I obtained a lot from your program, I'm glad I participated in it, and keep up the good job!" Magda Kwaterska

"This is a great, original program that should be incorporated into all communities and cities. Alternatives to going out and drinking are far and few between adn I hope that it is part of a new wave for the future. Yeah LUNA!" comment from anonymous survey
