Gutsy Walk Event Day Volunteer - York

Come join the fun as a Gutsy Walk volunteer!

Gutsy Walk is Crohn’s and Colitis Canada’s signature national fundraising event celebrated on the first Sunday of June each year. Thousands of people across Canada come together on one day to raise money to advance medical research and improve the lives of Canadians who are affected by these diseases.

This role involves in-person interactions. Crohn’s and Colitis Canada encourages volunteers and community members to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as defined by their local or provincial Public Health authorities. We take the health, safety and well-being of our volunteers seriously, especially in light of the fact that people with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis may have compromised immune systems, which is why we continue to follow the guidance of local Public Health authorities.

We are currently scheduling event day volunteers for a variety of roles including:

  • Greeters
  • Registration 
  • Kids Area
  • Walk Route
  • Entertainment 
  • Food Station

All volunteer roles on this day are equally important for Gutsy Walk success! Volunteers are required to adhere to Crohn’s and Colitis Canada policies and procedures, including the Volunteer Code of Conduct.

Time commitment:

Volunteer shifts will be scheduled for Sunday, June 2, 2024 and vary from 3-5 hours based on need and your availability.
