My role was mainly administrative, helping out the full-time staff in the main office. from about December to April, a large part of my job was helping to coordinate the fundraising gala in April. I helped to coordinate marketing for the gala in local newspapers and on websites by initiating correspondence and looking at pricing that would accommodate our budget. I also helped with the marketing by physically going out and putting up posters around downtown Ottawa. I also assisted in coordinating donations for our "mystery" gift boxes and live auction.Additionally, I participated in discussion groups with CoSA core members on topics such as redefining oneself post-incarceration, how to search for housing with a criminal record, and getting finances in order before and after incarceration. I got to speak personally with the core members and hear about their lived experiences being incarcerated for sexual offences, the intersecting issues that they had dealt with, and their experience in the community after the fact.

First impression to external stakeholders and clients when contacting the camp in-person or via phone/email, which allowed me to develop my customer service and problem-solving skills. I hosted volunteers with developmental disabilities in the main office and delegated appropriate tasks to engage them. A major role of this position was facilitating the arrival and departure. This was a very high-stakes process and required organizing spreadsheets detailing which campers were being picked up/dropped off at the camp directly and which were travelling by bus to ensure that no child was unaccounted for. This position greatly improved my organizational skills, and allowed me to develop a stronger sense of initiative, responsibility, and leadership – including when to delegate tasks. Show less
