We need Volunteers…All you need is a passion to help Australian Girls who are disadvantaged.
How you can volunteer
In our office or from your home: We need people for all kinds of roles : processing scholarship applications; processing donations; accounting; marketing for donations; managing social media; digital media; administration support; research, etc..
As a coach: We provide coaching support for each scholarship recipient. Students from disadvantaged backgrounds often have limited access to role models or mentors beyond their parents or teachers. Often with lower levels of education or limited work histories themselves, many of these parents or carers can find it difficult to talk about the range of opportunities available for the future.Students are matched with a supportive adult who volunteers as a coach. Volunteer coaches should be experienced educators. All Coaches are screened, inducted and then carefully matched with a student according to the student’s career aspirations and interests.Coaches will contact scholars no less than once a month to discuss:
Academic progress
Career Aspirations
Tertiary Education Aspirations
Subject selection
Use of scholarship tools
General attitude towards education
Coaches will work with scholars to establish the mode of communication that works best for the scholars. The coaches contact students via email, phone, social media, or a message application. If a coach and student agree to meet in person, they will do so in the presence of a responsible adult who can sign that the scholar was safe for the period of the coaching session.
As a tutor: Face to Face Tutoring (or via Skype) is critical for the girls’ advancement. To supplement the tutors we are paying for, we are looking for volunteers to tutor the students in a variety of subjects.
As a career adviser: We need volunteers to help the girls explore pathways to careers
As a subject choice adviser: We need volunteers to help the girls select subjects that will get them to the course they want to pursue in tertiary education.
