Information you need to send us to promote your volunteer opportunities:
- Volunteer opportunity title
- Task description
- Skills needed
- Responsibilities
- Time commitment
- Incentive for the volunteer (training opportunity, free ticket for event, etc.)

Bonus: Promoting your volunteer opportunities through Volunteer Yukon is also a way for your organization to promote its public events, its programs & services, its mission & vision, and more. All you need to do is insert an extra message when you send us your volunteer opportunities.
Promoting your volunteer opportunities through VY is fantastically easy; just send them to Bruno Bourdache at executivedirector@volunteeryukon.ca. You will receive confirmation once promotion has occurred.
