Become a volunteer
We value and appreciate the time volunteers give to help care for and support schoolies each year.
As a Schoolies volunteer you will work closely with a number of organisations for the greater good of young people. The main aim is to assist young people who require support.
We believe that when young people are valued and validated, their response will be one of respect and cooperation.
To join our team:
- contact Office for Youth on (07) 3008 8627.
Blue cards
- All volunteers are required to hold current Blue Cards issued by the Children's Commission for Young People and Child Guardian and will work as part of teams.
- Once you register your interest in becoming a Schoolies volunteer you will be provided with information on applying for a Blue Card.
- Volunteers are encouraged to apply for a Blue Card by mid-September to allow adequate time for processing.
- Holders of an existing Blue Card are encouraged to check the expiry date, as a new application may need to be processed prior to November 2008.
Things you should know
- Volunteers must be aged 18 and over.
- When you register to become a volunteer you will be given an opportunity to choose the dates and times that suit you best. Volunteers are needed during both the day and night for a wide range of duties including street patrols, registration and office duties.
- All Volunteers will be required to undergo training.
- Volunteers will need to be able to provide their own transport and accommodation. No reimbursement is available for any costs incurred.
