Following the closure of the Grande Prairie Regional Association of Volunteer Organizations, a new online platform is looking to fill the gap for the city’s volunteer community.
“JustServe” is described as a free online platform, designed to connect volunteers with service opportunities in their communities.
Jennifer Broadhead, a JustServe Specialist for the Grande Prairie area says the resource has been growing in GP over the last five years, including a local Facebook group of nearly 1,000, that utilizes the service.
“There is an obvious interest in volunteering and strengthening our community,” she says.
The service aims to help organizations connect with a broad volunteer base, including individuals, families, and groups looking to serve, by making it easy for volunteers to find opportunities that match their unique interests and abilities.
Several opportunities for the Grande Prairie area are already available on JustServe’s website.
