- Can you spare one hour per week or four hours per month?
- Do you like doing a little something on a regular basis, or prefer working on one big project?
There are plenty of opportunities to share your knowledge or learn new skills on any of our committees or caucuses.
The Green Party of Manitoba is administrated entirely by volunteers; participating in just one event or one hour per week helps to facilitate our programs and activities.
If you would like to volunteer your services or expertise, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Cathie Turner. Volunteers do not have to be members of the party.
