Community GRO is a not for profit organisation providing services and programs to support families and individuals across the Townsville community through our Garbutt Community Centre. We value the skills and experience that each of our volunteers bring to the organisation and their contribution to support our staff and program service delivery. Our volunteers have the opportunity to participate and benefit from our programs.

Duties include: General reception duties, administration tasks, data entry

Our admin/reception volunteer would have a friendly, happy personality with good communication and interpersonal skills. The role involves being the front line person at the Garbutt Community Centre, assisting visitors as required. Flexibility of availability is an advantage. The centre relies on volunteers to support program delivery (having only one paid employee). Being able to call on volunteers at short notice when staff/volunteers are absent is crucial to sustaining our delivery.

The community centre provides a warm and welcoming place for community members. The programs and services delivered can have life changing implications for many of the participants. Being part of the Community GRO team and seeing the great work our staff and volunteers do is very rewarding.

Many of our previous volunteers have used their experience as a pathway to furthereducation in the Community Services Sector.
