Do you want to:

• Help Melbourne's refugee and asylum seeker community?
• Develop your skills, experience and portfolio in media/communications?
• Meet people of different backgrounds and make new friends?

If you answered yes to any of the above, come join a vibrant and collaborative organisation that truly values your ideas and contribution!

The River Nile Learning Centre (RNLC) provides education programs and services to those refugee and asylum seeker women whose age, visa or personal circumstances prohibit them from being enrolled in formal education or employment.

We are seeking volunteers to assist staff with creating, maintaining and growing our social media presence to build awareness of RNLC and demonstrate our impact.

Key responsibilities:

• Help to create, schedule and share content across various platforms (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram)
• Help showcase our activities to grow our digital presence and followers
• Help to facilitate engagement with people of diverse lived experience and moderate social media channels.

What we are looking for:

• Knowledge and understanding of social media platforms
• The ability to create high-quality and engaging content
• Good written and verbal communication skills (with the ability to engage with people from diverse backgrounds)
• An ability to work both autonomously and as part of a team.

About us:

RNLC is 100% dependent on grants, donations and fundraising, yet we are fortunate to have a small, dedicated team of staff with a deep personal passion and understanding for our work. In addition to our core programs, we also provide a range of critical services that help students to integrate and thrive in the community (e.g. swimming and driving lessons, a food bank). We are conveniently located just opposite the Queen Victoria market and within a 10 minute walk from Flagstaff station. While our student cohort is women-only, volunteers of all genders are welcome.
