Volunteer

What does it mean to be a volunteer at Torquay Community House?

​Torquay Community House would not exist without our wonderful team of volunteers. They ensure that your community house is a friendly, welcoming, fun and stimulating place to be.

Volunteers are at the heart of everything we do.

 

Office/Reception volunteers are often the important first point of contact at the house. This role involves greeting visitors, setting up activities and classes, assisting with administration tasks, keeping spaces tidy, assisting with fundraising and generally helping out where needed. No two days are the same! If you are a people person – this is the role for you!

The Board of Management consists of volunteers who are elected at our Annual General Meeting or co-opted in the interim period for a two-year term. Board members may take on a number of roles depending on their strengths and interests. These roles include fundraising, advocating for the house and developing the yearly strategic plan for the House. 

Volunteer tutors are essential to our Tutoring Works program and we are always looking for new tutors who are able to work with Primary or Secondary age learners.

We also welcome volunteer tutors who might want to run a class or event. If you have a skill or area of interest that you are passionate about, why not share it with the community?
