Our organization's Board of Directors is seeking a volunteer Social Media & Marketing Coordinator. Community LAMDA (http://mylamda.com/) is a registered charity (since 1987) that provides staff-supported, affordable, apartment-style homes as a foundation for stability and wellness for adults living in Calgary who experience mental illness (particularly schizophrenia). The LAMDA Board oversees operation of two apartment buildings (max 62 occupants total), with Calgary Housing Company as landlord, and two full-time support workers who provide resources, social activities, and ensure housing is organized & safe for tenants. One of the reasons for LAMDA’s success (as evidenced by low hospital readmission rates and stable tenancy) is that we offer permanent housing (vs a temporary residential treatment facility). We are looking for a person with social media / creative / marketing skills and written communication proficiency who is willing to contribute 4-8 hours per month within LAMDA's working board model, contributing to our social media strategy and managing our online / print collateral, e.g., the website, LinkedIn, Instagram, newsletter and ad hoc presentation materials. Comfort with public speaking / fundraising considered an asset. Some interest or knowledge in the mental health field would be an asset though not required. For any questions or to apply, kindly post your interest on this site or directly contact David Barer (david@mylamda.com). Many thanks for your time & consideration!

Certification or Education Required
This position requires strong social media / electronic technology skills, creativity and written communication skills. Comfort with public speaking / fundraising considered an asset. Prior board experience/management experience in the non-profit sector would be also an asset.
Why should you volunteer for this opportunity?
