Twelve & Thirteen Facilitator

Our facilitators are valuable members of our team delivering our 2 hour volunteering sessions and ensuring our families have the most rewarding giving experience possible.

They include community and youth leaders, alumni parents and university students. They all bring a shared community connectedness and a commitment to growing the next generation of givers.

As facilitators and session leaders, they are the lynchpin between participants and partner charities, guiding our families on a unique year long journey of giving. We’d love to have you on board and have indicated below what is involved in joining the team.

The Facilitators role includes:

• Co-facilitating up to 6 volunteer sessions between the months of February to September. Our sessions run for two hours so we estimate 3 hours max including travel time, set up and pack down if required. We would hope that each facilitator can commit to minimum 2-3 sessions per year.
• Attending an Opening Workshop at the beginning of Feb which kicks off the program and a Closing Showcase later in the year to celebrate the achievements of the participants.
• Attending occasional facilitator meetings, including an initial briefing and planning meeting before the program commences each year.
• Keen to provide input on the direction of the program, including future planning and developing relationships with new charity partners.
• Facilitators communicate between the program manager, administrator & other facilitators before/after a session.
• Having warm and friendly interactions with participants, partner charities and Board or Committee members.
• Photograph the sessions for use on our socials.
• Being an advocate for the program within the community.
• Being committed, reliable and personable with a positive approach.

The ideal person will have:

• A positive and flexible can do attitude
• A passion for philanthropy, giving back and helping people in need
• Strong leadership and communication skills
• Strong interpersonal skills
• Initiative, ability to generate new ideas, adaptability to change
