- Position description summary
- Can you spare 1-2 hours a week during school hours to assist a young person at risk of disengagement? Learning Support volunteers assist young people with literacy and/or numeracy in the classroom. A grounded and mature volunteer would be suitable. Volunteers need to be proficient in English. We are seeking people who are compassionate, patient and willing to genuinely help students. No previous experience is necessary, however, volunteers must be able to commit to a minimum 1 hour per week for 12 months. Many of our current volunteers find this program personally rewarding as they help students thrive. The impact volunteers can make on a young person's life goes well beyond their school years. This is an opportunity to not only help, shape and support young people and schools, it may even enrich a volunteers life as well. EdConnect screens, interviews and trains each volunteer to ensure the safety of students and volunteers. If you want to make a difference in a young person's life, please contact us on 1800 668 550.
