Gig Buddies is a volunteer based befriending project promoting social inclusion for adults with disability.

We are looking for volunteer buddies in the Sydney Metro region and Central Coast (NSW, Australia).

Key Duties

Attend an event and/or activity (“gig”) once a month with an adult with a learning disability and/or autism.

You will be paired up with an adult with a mild to moderate learning disability and/or autism who has similar interests to you so you can attend events together, share your interests and have fun.

What is a gig?

A gig can be as casual as meeting up for a chat and a coffee, or as adventurous as going to a musical festival together. You and your new buddy decide what gigs you would like to enjoy together.

Skills and experience needed

We are seeking motivated, inventive people who are positive about diversity and want to be a part of the growing community of Gig Buddies in NSW.

No previous experience is needed.

Training and support is provided.
