This is an exciting opportunity for a new energetic and pro-active leader to co-coordinate this dynamic team in CAIRNS. A chance to grow and explore and develop your own skills whilst also learning from the professional skills we have within the chapter. This role is fun, rewarding and a fulfilling experience and a great opportunity to create long lasting friendships and memories.

People think leaders need to be strong, determined, results-oriented, and have most of the answers, but in fact, volunteer coordination involves team-oriented planning, having an open mind, strong leadership skills and being a trustworthy partner.
