VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY

Position: Volunteers at Virgin Music Festival in Toronto
Organization: Global Inheritance http://www.globalinheritance.org
Location: Toronto, Ontario

Global Inheritance is a 501c3 registered non-profit
organization based in Los Angeles, CA. Our goal is to
educate young people about environmental and social issues
in creative, interactive, and thoughtful ways. For specific
information about our projects, please go to
http://globalinheritance.org .

At this year's Virgin Festival at Toronto Island Park on
Sept. 8 and 9, we'll be hosting a game of human chess that
mirrors the battle of global warming. One side will
represent the environmental violators that cause global
warming, while the other will signify actions and objects
that are trying to overcome global warming. The pieces are
as follows:

* Pawns -- Bikes Vs Hummers
* Rooks -- Recycling Vs Trash
* Bishops -- Trees Vs Factory/SmokeStacks
* Knights -- Scientists Vs Lobbyists
* King -- Oil Tower Vs Wind Turbine
* Queen --Coal (Think Black Version Fantastic Four character --Thing) Vs Solar

We are looking to secure people who can play as chess
pieces and refs. Costumes will be provided. When you apply,
I'll email you the designs. Highlights of the chess games
will be played on the Virgin Festival jumbotron during set
changes each day and webcasted around the world. While this
two-day position is unpaid, it's a great chance to use your
bubbling personalities for a good cause, and maybe even to
get some great exposure.

We're also looking for people who'd like to help run our
Recycling Store, a store that only accepts used bottles and
cans as currency and sells things like skate decks, organic
clothing, computer and stereo equipment, and autographed
merchandise.

Please contact jenna at globalinheritance.org for more
information or to apply. Include either a resume or a brief
explanation regarding your qualifications and reasons for
wanting to participate in this opportunity. We're looking to
secure 30-40 people per day, so don't be afraid to tell your
friends, neighbors, or even your worst enemies. Thanks!
