Five Valleys Walk Planning Committee

Save to Favorites

We are looking to grow our walk committee this year! We are looking for volutneers who enjoy event planning, networking and wanting to see a change in their community around mental health and suicide prevention.

Our walk meetings are scheduled with the following cadence:

• February - April: First Monday of the month, 4:30 - 5:30 via Zoom.
• May - July: First Tuesday of the month, 4:30 - 5:30, in person at Paddlehead stadium
• August/September - 2-3 Tuesdays as needed to prepare for the last minute walk preparations. Typically the 1 st and 3 rd Tuesdays, but may be adjusted based on leader availability during August.

In addition to our monthly meetings, we have a variety of job roles that are divided up among committee members, and these roles do include some planning work outside of the meeting time itself. Examples include gathering sponsorships, walker recruitment/engagement, pre walk event support/planning, day of walk logistics planning, etc. There are also a variety of pre-walk events that we encourage walk members to participate in and/or volunteer to work as often as is possible with your existing schedules. We try to share working these events amongst the group, so the more committee members we have, the easier it is to cover all of the events that we schedule.

Our walk is scheduled for Saturday, September 13 th. Our committee members are typically on site for the event between 7/7:30a and 1:00/1:30p.
