Be a Volunteer

• Do you want to give something back to your community?
• Do you want to learn new skills?
• Do you want to meet new people and have fun?

Yes? Then volunteering is for you!

The Queensland Association for Healthy Communities (QAHC) has several exciting volunteering opportunities available across the state.

• Outreach & Events - be part of a team providing outreach to gay venues, beats and community events including Pride and NAIDOC.
• Administration - provide administrative and secretarial support to our offices across the state and in Brisbane staff the reception area of the LGBT Resource Centre.
• Training & Facilitation - deliver training to other health workers and facilitate community social and support groups (e.g. Men in the Middle).
• Action Groups - join an Action Group on a topic that interests you (e.g. ageing) or start your own.
• Working-bees - help out on a one-off basis with condom packing, making red ribbons and fundraising events.

Training and regular supervision is provided free of charge by QAHC. We can also provide you with training certificates and references.
