Volunteer Family Connect (VFC) is an evidence-based program that provides social and practical support to families with a child under five years of age.  Free training and ongoing supervision is provided to volunteers who visit families in their home or other community spaces.

Volunteers are often parents themselves, who understand there are times when parents and carers need a little assistance. The volunteer works in partnership with the family to offer information, friendly support and encouragement.

As a volunteer with VFC, you will make new friends, contribute to the community, use existing skills, experiences and personal qualities as well as develop new skills. Training sessions are very informal with lunch and morning tea provided. 

At Save the Children, we greatly value the contribution volunteers make in changing the lives of children.  Volunteers are a valued member of  a supportive team.  

We need youth leaders or unit helpers in our two Girl Guide units. One unit is for girls 10 to 15 and the younger unit is for girls 6 to 9 years. We do a number of activities each week which includes playing games, doing craft, learning new skills, doing service activites etc. 

You would be part of a suportive team and be able to access training within the Girl Guide orgaisation. 

No previous experience is required, we will train you, however a WWC ,  a Police check and child safe training is required before you commence working with the girls. 

We are looking for Leaders or Unit helpers to work with our girls. We have two units Lyrebirds for girls in grade 1 to grade 4 and Lizards for girls grade 5 and over.

If you wish to make a difference in girls lives and enable them to become self-confident, resilient leaders in our community then this is for you. 

Whilst working with the girls you will get your own training in leadership, education and youth. You will be working with a team of dedicated women who are supportive and caring.
