What is a Student Advocate?
Volunteering WA is recruiting multiple Student Advocates to lead the National Student Volunteer Week awareness and promotion at secondary and tertiary education institutions across the nation.
We are seeking currently enrolled students aged 16+ who are passionate about making a difference in the world. Change starts with doing and we want motivated people from all backgrounds to get students aware of the different volunteering opportunities both on campus and outside. Motivation for volunteering comes from many sources and it will be your job to find the inner volunteer in every student on campus.
We’ll provide you with a t-shirt, posters and more to take over NSVW24 on your campus! We will happily reimburse any reasonable travel/printing/phone expenses you may incur and provide a reference on completion to add to your own resume. In addition, we will profile your bio on the nswv.au website as a specially appointed NSVW24 Student Advocate.
What will Student Advocates be asked to do?
- Meet with the Volunteering Queensland co-ordinator and other Student Advocates prior and post NSVW to share ideas and suggestions to improve reach and impact at your school
