Helping Hands is a non-profit association managed by Amadeus staff and contractors. Today, we are represented by strongly motivated Project Owners, active members, and hundreds of followers and supporters but we are always looking for more! We organize many events during the year, and we need volunteers to make them come true and achieve our fundraising goals.

Our concept is simple…
Each calendar year, we select solidarity projects to work with; these can be existing projects or newly submitted. Specially the latter, must be voted on and approved by the members. They must fit within our four pillars to be accepted: Basic needs, Health, Education and Technology. Then, we raise funds via events (raffles, sporting events, music nights, etc.) and organize food and clothes collections that are then donated to other non-profit charity actions (Red Cross, war on Ukraine, and more …).
As a member or volunteer, you have the freedom to propose any activity that can help us raise funds. Since each event usually relies on a team of Helping Hands members, you won’t be alone! The effort to organize events depend on the type of event… and on the size of the team! The definition and re-partition of tasks is totally up to the team, but it can be estimated at one hour per week at lunch time for 3-4 weeks.

You can be involved in Helping Hands at different levels:
-
- Member or volunteer: If you don’t have time to get fully involved in our activities, you can just promote our activities with your friends, attend our events or just give us a hand on occasions when needed. You can invest as much time as you can, whenever you can. We love if you participate to our monthly meetings so you can voice your ideas!
- Project Owner (PO): At the beginning of the year, you submit a project — association of preference — for which you would like to raise money. You must organize at least one fund-raising event during the year and are expected to help other POs in the organization of theirs. It is also important to be an active participant of our monthly meetings, where we discuss financial status and events status, new ideas, etc. Refer to Event organization above for more details.
- Board member: The board is selected at the beginning of the fiscal year. You must be an existing member to join the board as President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, Delegate, Webmaster, or Communication Manager. The board members meet on a monthly basis – or as needed – to discuss a wide range of topics. The Board member is often overseeing and helping in the organization of events. Whenever necessary, the board takes “executive” decisions without the consult of members. The effort for a board member can be estimated to one hour per week of various activities, including meetings, all along the year (excluding August).
