Join the Alumni Representative Team
We're looking for new members to join our teams across Australia.
Have you completed a hybrid, in-country or remote volunteering assignment? Join the wonderful team of Alumni Representatives across all states and territories and lead Alumni networking activities in your area, encourage online engagement and participate in various Australian Volunteers Program activities.
We are passionate about supporting all alumni to volunteer as Alumni Reps. We recognise the unique strengths and skills that people with diverse backgrounds and experiences offer, and we work with alumni to remove barriers they may face.

Support
There are two-to-three Alumni Representatives in each state and territory so you will be working in a small team with like-minded alumni. Support for this role will be provided by the Alumni Manager and Alumni Coordinator.
From personal experience, it has been one of the most amazing volunteering opportunities for me over the past few years. I have really enjoyed coordinating events, I have learned lots of new things and met really lovely people.
