Volunteer Flip Flop Fiesta
Advertised by Volunteering North Queensland (VNQ)
Join us for a relaxed beach-style day designed to help young people connect, have fun and build positive wellbeing through movement, conversation and shared experiences. Throughout the day, young people will rotate through a variety of activities including Bocce, a Jazzine Barracks Adventure Hunt, Rockpool Games, The Strand Walk & Talk, and our Blue Zone—a calm space with coloring, cards, building activities and other low-pressure games. We'll also come together for a KookaChat wellbeing session, where young people can explore resilience, mental health and positive coping strategies in a safe and supportive environment.
This program is all about connection rather than competition. Every young person is encouraged to participate at their own pace.
As a volunteer, you'll:
- Welcome young people and help create a relaxed, inclusive atmosphere.
- Encourage participation across the different activity stations.
- Join in games, beach activities and conversations throughout the day.

- Keep an eye out for anyone who may need encouragement or a friendly check-in.

You don't need to be a counsellor. Sometimes the most important thing you can do is listen, include someone in an activity, or simply spend time alongside them. If you're ever concerned about a young person, let a staff member know straight away.
