Call for Volunteers: TSA Event Support Team

Are you an outgoing team player who is always willing to lend a hand? Want to experience a wide variety of the TSA’s in-person programming? Then come join us as an Event Support Volunteer! We are looking for a reliable group of volunteers (15) to be a part of the day-of logistics and events team that helps make our year-round in-person events possible.

Whether you are a first-time volunteer looking to get to know the organization, or a returning volunteer wanting a more recurring commitment, this is a great opportunity to see all that we do and become familiar with a wide range of programs.

TSA Event Support Volunteers are outgoing, approachable, and punctual individuals, who are passionate about creating community in our industry and who enjoy meeting and interacting with people from all walks of life. They are always willing to lend a hand, and proactively find ways to contribute to the smooth running of our events. 

What to expect?

This is a recurring role with selected applicants expected to join us at 3-5 different events over the next year or so (October 2025 – September 2026). Assigned events are based on the availability you provide. Events for Fall 2025 will be assigned upon onboarding, while events in 2026 will be assigned with as much notice as possible. Most TSA events happen on weekday evenings (with typical shifts beginning after 5:00 PM) or daytime on weekends and applicants will be asked about their availability during application. 

Responsibilities are likely to include greeting guests, check-in and registration support, set up and tear down, bartending support, and other logistical event support as needed. Exact responsibilities will vary by event. Tasks will be shared amongst volunteers and there will typically always be an opportunity to participate in the event as well. 

We will be hosting an online orientation session for selected candidates at 6:00 PM on October 2, 2025 to kick us off for the season. If this is your first time volunteering with us, you will also be required to complete a short online course on accessible customer service (30-40 minutes). Those interested in bartending will also be asked to complete the Smart Serve Ontario course (4 hours), with costs covered by the TSA. 

Shift dates and times may vary depending on the event. Events may include:

• TSA CONNECT | October 8, 2025
• TSA CONNECT | November 11, 2025
• Architecture and Design Film Festival: Toronto | November 12-15, 2025
• TSA BASH | November 28, 2025
• TSA CONNECT | February 2026
• TSA Annual General Meeting | March 2026
• TSA Portfolio & Resume Clinic | April 2026

• TSA Architects Talk | May 2026
• TSA Building Tours | Summer 2026
