Established in 1991, the Third Age Centre is a Registered Charity housed at St. Thomas University in Fredericton, New Brunswick.  Directed by a volunteer Board, it operates on the principle of seniors helping seniors.  The Centre’s Goal is to support seniors’ efforts to maintain an active healthy lifestyle, develop themselves, and serve their communities. TAC promotes life-long learning, informed public discussion, and inter- generational exchange between seniors and younger people.

The Board meets approximately 10 times per year. The meetings are between 60 and 90 minutes. The main activity is planning public information events, although there may be some fund-raising activity and other tasks that occasionally arise.

At present the Board is predominantly female and would like to achieve more balance in gender representation. The Board is also hoping to expand its skill sets among them fund-raising, accounting or bookkeeping, graphic design, website and social media management, and marketing.

Ditch the Desk- A dance party with purpose!

Ditch the Desk is an epic noon-hour dance party. The event highlights two local offices who are selected to go head-to-head in a dance off to support the charity of their choice. Each event is also hosted by a different local dance group who will get the crowd dancing and showcase their own stuff!  The purpose of the event is to get moving for meaning; to ditch our desks, to showcase different local dance/fitness groups and support our community through fun!

We are currently expanding and creating a new committee and are looking for members who love to dance and who want to connect and uplift the community. We are looking for:

-People to help with event planning and coordination

-People with skills in marketing and promotion

-People with skills in graphic design

-People connected to different community groups

-Dance instructors/ Enthusiasts

 Please let us know if you are interested!

Regular board meetings and work on committees. This is a working board, as the Fredericton Arts Alliance has essentially no staff. We would love to have someone with strong IT skills to help update and upgrade our website and other IT links. A commitment to the arts is obviously important.

Volunteering with Canadian Blood Services means helping Give Life—whether you’re supporting blood donors during the donation process, recruiting people for blood or stem cell donations, organizing a blood donor clinic in your community, or raising awareness of the importance of blood donation.

If you’d like a volunteer opportunity that offers a flexible schedule and involves participating in community events with a focus on recruiting new donors and promoting upcoming clinics, an in-community role may be right for you. In-community volunteering is a great chance to meet people by working with different groups and raising awareness of the importance of donating blood.

Volunteering with Canadian Blood Services means helping Give Life—whether you’re supporting blood donors during the donation process, recruiting people for blood or stem cell donations, organizing a blood donor clinic in your community, or raising awareness of the importance of blood donation.

Customer care and service are vitally important to supporting Canada’s blood system — especially during the donation process.

Greeting donors with a smile, making conversation, and accompanying and encouraging them throughout the donation process helps them feel welcome and comfortable. The care and attention you give is very often a key reason why donors return. As one of the last faces donors see on their way out, you play a critical role in the success of future blood donor clinics.
