Step Up Step Out is about Community Connection!

Hello! My name is Kristen Meyer-Creamer and I am thrilled to meet you! Thank you for taking the time to find out what Step Up Step Out is all about. I've worked for over a decade to inspire a spirit of volunteerism in my community of Scugog. I'm proud to be involved in many charity and community organizations on the board or committee level including the Scugog Chamber of Commerce, Scugog Arts, The Queen Bees of Scugog, Fill a Purse for a Sister and more.

As a marketing and social media professional with over 15 years experience, I have worked on countless event marketing projects. From beer festivals to awards ceremonies to dragon boat competitions to stage productions and beyond. Here's what I've discovered: events and volunteering are the HEART AND SOUL of our beautiful community! However, over the years, I have noted the need for a space where people can find opportunities for North Durham all in one place. Step up Step out is now that place!

A little bit about us. Step Up Step Out North Durham is an online community that promotes local events and volunteer opportunities through our online calendar and social media. We also aim to inspire people to get involved in their communities and work to build goodwill through connection with each other. Step Up Step Out is for everyone! Businesses, community organizations, charities and the public. Submit your events and volunteer positions for us to promote OR look for something that suits your interests! Our blog also contains some great tips, inspiration and ideas for getting involved!

We are excited to announce that our platform will be FREE OF CHARGE for the first year for events promotion starting March 1st 2023. All volunteer positions and events listed by community groups or charities will remain free forever!

Now we need your help to fill out our calendars and begin promoting! Please feel free to forward your events calendar or any volunteer position listings you may have so that we can begin to inform people. As we grow, we hope to add more features such as a regular newsletter and a volunteer sign up section for those in search of opportunities. Step Up Step Out is truly a collaboration between our team and our community partners. Working together we can inspire the residents of Scugog, Brock and Uxbridge townships to get out, meet people and get involved.

Let's dream big! Let's get connected! Please feel free to contact me to chat. I look forward to hearing from you!
