Volunteer
Volunteering for Talk Out Loud opens up a world of opportunities.
Some of the benefits of volunteering include:
- Belonging to a caring community and connect with like-minded people who have the potential to become life-long friends.
- Adding your experience to your resume and impress future employers.
- Learning new skills and build on existing ones.
- Developing your confidence and self-esteem by using your voice to make a difference.
- Challenging discrimination and stigma around mental illness.
- Feeling good about yourself by making a difference in the lives of others!
As a Talk Out Loud volunteer, you can choose from five different roles:
- Event-specific volunteer: If you don’t have a lot of time, you can sign up for fundraising events and join a small committee or show up at the event on the day and take on a specific role.
- Regular admin volunteer: We always need office personnel, from answering phone calls and replying to emails to picking up and delivering office supplies, cleaning the office, and working on our coffee trailer. We’re open every day, so choose a day and become a regular member of our community!
- Leadership volunteering: If you want to upskill and take on the challenge of leadership, there are a number of ways you can do this – as a camp leader, event manager, or social enterprise coordinator. Full training provided.
- Remote volunteer: Choose to volunteer from home, for example, designing flyers or social media posts on Canva. Full training provided.
- Senior volunteer: Are you over 55 years of age? If so, you can apply through Centrelink to volunteer for us by filling out their Approved Voluntary Work Form which entails 15 hours of volunteering per week.
As well as these roles we also encourage secondary students on work experience and tertiary students on placement to apply.
