About Us

Every dollar raised supports Kinds of Happiness (KOH), a charity dedicated to empowering disadvantaged youth in regional and rural Australia through mentoring, farming programs, and skills development. When you volunteer with us, you are directly supporting that mission.

About the Role
Behind every event that changes a young person's life, there is a team keeping things running. As Events Admin Team Leader, you will lead the volunteers who provide that behind-the-scenes support for LMA's markets and fundraising events. You will make sure the team's work is accurate and on time, that your volunteers feel supported, and that the Event Organisers have the information they need to plan with confidence.

LMA is a genuine training ground for its volunteers. In this role, you will build real leadership experience and help your team develop practical, transferable skills in administration and events.

The Events Your Team Will Support

  • Fundraising events: community dining and social events held in scenic locations, where guests come together to raise funds for KOH

What a Typical Week Looks Like
You might share out the week's tasks, check that everything is ready for the next market, catch up with the Event Organiser Team Leader about upcoming events, answer a few questions in the team chat, and run the weekly online team meeting.

  • Experience guiding, supervising, or coordinating others
