WEA Adult Learning has been providing adult South Australians with affordable and accessible learning opportunities since 1913.

In 2023 WEA will be celebrating its 110th anniversary and we are launching an exciting volunteer-led project to ensure our rich history is properly recorded and preserved for future generations.

The project will include a research component as well as cataloguing, digitising, and storing our vast treasure trove of documents, photographs, and objects.

As we launch this exciting project we are seeking 3 enthusiastic Volunteers to take on the role of WEA Volunteer History Project Team Leader for our 3 Project Pillars:

• Research
• Cataloguing
• Digitisation

As a WEA Volunteer History Project Team Leader, you will be responsible for:

• Setting objectives and goals for your Project Pillar
• Developing a Project Plan for your Project Pillar
• Coordinating with the other Project Team Leaders to manage resources, share information and learnings, identify opportunities for external funding, and ensure overall Project outcomes are achieved
• Building relationships with external organisations and individuals who may be able to provide resources, guidance, or support
• Liaising with WEA management, staff, and other WEA Volunteer History Project Team Leaders
• Recruiting and managing a small team of Volunteers to implement your Project Plan

Ideally you will have prior experience in managing Volunteers, as well as an interest in local history and its preservation.

If you can offer a regular and consistent commitment, we would love to hear from you.
