Volunteer
This distinguished program acts as a continual source of talent for CEC, selecting full-time staff from volunteers interested in advancing within the CEC organization.
As a CEC Volunteer, your main role is to represent the brand and deliver professional services at all CEC events for paying guests, clients, and employees. Volunteers assist with every facet of CEC’s programs, projects, events, and subsidiaries. After completing six months, volunteers become eligible to fill utility roles in the office and join production teams, helping manage audiences, vendors, live entertainment, and engaging in more complex event assignments.
These varied roles allow volunteers to develop their skills and discover their strengths. Applicants must prioritize their commitment to being a CEC Volunteer above other schedules.
The program offers real-world exposure to the entertainment industry, providing inside access and the chance to connect with professionals at all levels. Emphasizing the business operations of the organization, the Volunteer Program often leads to entry-level administrative jobs for talented volunteers. Lasting eight to twelve months, the part-time role can approach full-time hours during busy seasons.
Overall, the CEC Volunteer Program is designed to give driven individuals practical experience to succeed in community service. It serves as a gateway to numerous careers in both nonprofit business management and entertainment.
Brand Ambassadors
Help get the word out about CEC! Ambassadors spread news about CEC via all social media and at all CEC sponsored community events throughout the country. This is a great opportunity for those of our followers and supporters who would like to volunteer, but do not live near the office, or are only free on evenings and weekends.
Production Assistants
There are occasional openings for volunteers to assist our project managers with their events. The responsibilities of these volunteers vary depending on the project they are assigned, but might include: answering phones, sales, conducting research, and social media.
Clerical Assistants
CEC uses volunteers for a wide variety of clerical activities, including: sending out thank you gifts, compiling membership mailings, addressing envelopes, and calling members.
Fundraisers
More than 80% of CEC's funds comes from our community events, membership drives, sponsors, and promotional drives. They are intrinsic to the success of the organization. Volunteers answer phones and record incoming donations. Shifts are generally four hours and are available weekdays and weekends, 6am-10pm. Groups are also welcome, and groups of 4 or more will be recognized when we do our live podcasts and live feeds via social media!
