We are growing again with new and exciting events scheduled throughout 2026, and we are looking for passionate people to join our team as Volunteer Event Planners.

You will be part of something bigger — helping shape fundraising and community events that create real opportunities for young people in rural and regional Australia.

- Maintain vendor licences and compliance documentation in accordance with relevant rules and regulations
- Respond to event-related enquiries in a timely and professional manner
- Coordinate with internal teams to support event promotions and registrations
- Maintain accurate records and shared documentation to support team visibility and coordination
We are looking for someone who:
- Willingness to learn, develop, remaster skills and build strong professional connection with other volunteers
- Clear, friendly, and professional written communication
- Attention to detail and ability to juggle tasks
- Reliable, proactive and self motivated
- Comfortable supporting online meetings, shared documentation, and digital tools like Google Workspace
- enthusiasm and commitment matter most
What You’ll Gain:
- Valuable experience in event planning and fundraising
- Opportunities to build your professional network and skills
- Volunteer flexibly around your existing commitments
- The chance to make a real difference for young people from rural and regional communities
- A supportive team culture you'll actually enjoy
