**Parkinson Canada Volunteer Opportunity**

Parkinson Canada believes in a better life today for People Living with Parkinson’s, and a world without Parkinson’s tomorrow. Canada has some of the world’s highest rates, and it is growing quickly. People living with Parkinson’s are at the centre of everything we do at Parkinson Canada. We provide education and services, and we advocate with federal, provincial, and territorial governments on issues that matter to the Parkinson’s community in Canada. The Parkinson Research Program funds innovative research to search for better treatments and a cure.

**The Opportunity**

SuperWalk Coordinators play a pivotal role in raising awareness and funds for people living with Parkinson’s. They champion and lead the coordination of SuperWalk in communities, from start to finish, with support from Parkinson Canada. They support the organizing committee and ensure a positive experience for event participants. You will solicit sponsors in conjunction with the Sponsorship Coordinator and ensure the funds collected the day of the event are properly recorded and deposited. You will ensure all activities and actions are in alignment with the Parkinson Canada SuperWalk program and Parkinson Canada Policies.

- Recruiting and providing leadership for the organizing committee
- Managing volunteers alongside the Volunteer Coordinator
- Organizing and Chairing Committee Meetings
- Attending monthly (April-October) conference calls with Parkinson Canada event staff

- Possess an interest in working with Parkinson Canada and with Canadians living with Parkinson’s and their families
- Able to dedicate the amount of time required to successfully execute the role

**Benefits for SuperWalk Coordinators**

As a volunteer SuperWalk Coordinator, you will have the opportunity to develop your leadership potential and project management skills in a context outside of regular employment. You will work with an excellent group of people and be able to network with others in a related field. Most importantly you will make an impact in the lives of those living with Parkinson’s.

**Commitment**
