Urban Program

We need urban-based volunteers to help build healthy relationships, rapport and positive role modelling with the young people we work with in the Sydney and Greater Western Sydney area. We are looking for volunteers to assist us with one off events (e.g Community Based events) or ongoing program support.

We recruit volunteers through three intakes to undergo placements in remote Northern Territory communities. The selection process is highly competitive with demand across the country from skilled, qualified and inspirational Australians. To qualify applicants must by 21yrs and over, have experience working with children, excellent interpersonal and communication skills and the ability to inspire and motivate young people.

Applications for our June 2019 Program have now closed. Stay tuned for our next Volunteer Program in October/November 2019.
