URGENT - Community Workshop Volunteer - The Open Door Project

The Hearthstone Project is looking for friendly and reliable volunteers to help us run The Open Door Project, a free, all-ages community art workshop in Calgary on Saturday, September 26, 2026.

The Open Door Project is a youth-led community art initiative exploring identity, culture, belonging, and community through creativity and storytelling. Participants will create pages for a collaborative community zine and take part in a variety of creative activities.

NOTE: Volunteer roles will be assigned based on the needs of the event and the number of volunteers attending. Roles may rotate throughout the day, and we want volunteers to have opportunities to take breaks, participate in activities, eat food, and enjoy the event as well.

📍 Location: Tuxedo Park Community Association & Hall, Calgary, AB

📅 Date: Saturday, September 26, 2026

🕚 Workshop: 11:00 AM–2:00 PM

🕙 Volunteer time: Approximately 10:00 AM–4:00 PM, including setup and cleanup

Volunteer Responsibilities:

Volunteers may help with:

• Welcoming participants and helping with check-in or registration

• Assisting with the photo booth and interactive stations

No art experience is required! We are looking for people who are friendly, comfortable communicating with others, willing to work as part of a team, and interested in helping create a welcoming community environment.

The schedule and roles are flexible where possible, and we understand that volunteers may have different availability. Once volunteers are confirmed, our team will send additional information about arrival instructions, assigned roles, the event schedule, what to expect, and any other important details before the event.

This opportunity is suitable for students, groups, families, and community members.

Thank you for helping us make The Open Door Project possible!
