Messages for Good is a heartfelt initiative that uses digital connection to bring joy and friendship to aged care residents, sharing stories from volunteers directly with senior Australians—bridging generations through kindness, humour, and everyday life moments. Friends for Good partners with a social enterprise to provide a platform that enables volunteers to share experiences and glimpses of their daily life to help close the social gap in aged care communities.

About the Role

We are looking for warm, kind and open-hearted volunteers to join our initiative by creating and sharing short, positive videos and photos. These videos and photos — simple, heartfelt updates about your day, stories, or reflections — will be delivered to aged care residents through an app, helping them feel more connected, included, and uplifted. No editing or technical know-how is needed.

What You’ll Do

• Record videos and photos from your own life to be shared with aged care members via a mobile app. A minimum of 3 or more short videos (approx. 1-2 minutes each) a week is required.
• Share friendly, inspiring, or joyful messages — e.g., a walk in the park, a special memory, a kind message, etc.
• Create content that aligns with the mission to inspire connection, joy, and belonging.
• Work independently with support and guidance from the Friends for Good team as needed.

Who You Are

• Someone who enjoys sharing, storytelling, or simply wants to brighten someone’s day.
• Comfortable filming yourself and sharing snippets of your life
• Able to commit to uploading content regularly throughout the week
• Respectful and mindful of the values and training that guides communication with vulnerable communities
• No prior experience needed — just a positive attitude and a willingness to connect
• Over 18 years old

What You’ll Get

• The opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of senior Australians
• Be part of a growing movement to foster connections through digital connection
• The flexibility to volunteer from anywhere, anytime
• A meaningful addition to your resume or portfolio (if desired)
