Learning Club Facilitator - ACT WODEN (26ACTLC26060F1)

What are Learning Clubs? Learning Clubs provide a safe, fun, supportive learning environment where students participate in educational activities or receive help with their schoolwork from dedicated tutors, outside of school hours.

The rewarding Volunteer Learning Club Facilitator plays an important role in ensuring the Club’s smooth operation by coordinating volunteer tutors and participants, providing ongoing guidance, and working closely with key stakeholders to ensure students receive the educational and personal support they need to thrive.

This extra support helps students experiencing poverty with their educational and personal development, to keep up in class, and ultimately to succeed at school.
